Posted By On September 17, 2021 @ 12:00 AM In Goderich, Obituary | 27 Comments
GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN.
WHEREVER I GO, WHATEVER I DO….MEMORIES KEEP ME NEAR TO YOU.
It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Earnest Neale MacDougall, loving spouse of Mary Ann. Pre-deceased by his mother Shirley (nee Dunkin) and father Roderick. Brother to Roderick MacDougall, Pamela Leese and Paul MacDougall. Father to Neale MacDougall and Aaron MacDougall, grandfather to Roderick Anthony MacDougall. Step father to Micheal Hendrickson, Dana Hendrickson, Leanne Cuthbert and Cindy St. John. Step grandfather to 9 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren.
After 35 years of working for the Federal government, Earnie retired with the love of his life, Mary Ann, to Goderich. Running and exercising were his passion. He enjoyed his volunteer work at the YMCA in both Chatham and Goderich.
He was a kind gentle soul and much admired by his colleagues, friends and loved ones. He will be sadly missed. Memorial donations to the Alzheimer Society of Canada gratefully acknowledged.
Mary Ann I would like to offer my sincere condolences to you with Ernie’s passing. I know you will miss him so much! Take care and smile with happy memories.
Mary Ann & Family,
Jeff & I were so very sorry to hear about Earnie’s passing. We always enjoyed our encounters with him whenever we were invited to your family’s celebrations. There are many blessings to be thankful for: many happy years together, memories of fun times with your family and friends, several years of an enjoyable retirement in the Goderich community, and the final blessing that Earnie is now at peace.
Sending our love to all, Heather & Jeff Brodie

Oh Mary Ann so very sorry for your loss. Saw you and Ernie a few short months ago and you explained his illness but had no idea it would take him so quickly. May the wonderful memories of Ernie ease your sadness. Keep each memory close to your heart.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family. I was a summer student with the federal government and remember some words of wisdom he would share.
My condolences to you Mary Ann and the family. Many great memories of Earnie from both the “good old Y” and work. Thinking of you during this time.
Forever grateful for Earnie whispering “Yes, you can!” in my ear at the CK YMCA, no matter how many times I did not want to hear it. What a wonderful, giving person and positive presence he was. My condolences.

Sorry for your loss. We have broke bread many times. Earnie was always someone I like to see and talk to. Best wishes to Mary Anne and your family.
Craig and I were saddened to read of Earnie’s passing. He had a great sense of humour, enjoyed life with you Mary Ann in Goderich as a volunteer and citizen.
MaryAnne…So sorry to hear about Ernie. He was a super nice guy. Will always remember our chats at the Y. Our deepest sympathies.
I am so sorry to hear the news of Ernie’s passing. I remember him from the YMCA in Goderich and at your garage sales in the driveway, he had a good sense of humor. Often saw him running up harbour hill when I was heading to work, always active. He will be sadly missed.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time.
Take care.
Natalie and Paul

My thoughts are with you, Mary Ann and family. I have fond memories of working with Ernie on the Economic Development Committee when I served on Council for the town of Goderich. His passion for his community was evident and his enthusiastic approach to life will be missed. It was just a few short weeks ago that we had a final front porch visit. I always enjoyed our “London” talks! Truly, a life to celebrate…
