Roxanne M. Goulet's Obituary
Roxanne M. Goulet, 63, of Methuen, MA, passed away peacefully on Saturday, May 9, 2026, at Holy Family Hospital in Methuen.
Born and raised in Methuen, Roxanne was the beloved daughter of the late Roland and Blanche (Shea) Goulet. She attended Methuen Public Schools and graduated from Methuen High School with the Class of 1980. Roxanne dedicated much of her working life to Malden Mills, where she worked faithfully until the mill fire. She later continued her career with the GEM Group until her retirement.
Roxanne found joy in life’s simple pleasures. She loved spending time at the beach, creating ceramics, and especially being surrounded by her family. She treasured the laughter, stories, and traditions they shared together. One of her greatest joys was the family’s yearly vacation to the White Mountains, a tradition she looked forward to each year.
Known for her kindness, generosity, and open heart, Roxanne touched the lives of many and will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by her siblings, Dr. Brian Roland Goulet and Mark Leo Goulet.
Roxanne is survived by her son, Mark Hargreaves, his wife Jennifer, cherished three grandchildren, Jason, Jeffrey, and Jordan of Hill, NH; brother, Bart Goulet, his wife, Donna of Methuen; beloved nieces and nephews Chris Goulet, his wife Jackie, and their daughter, Amelia of Derry; Nicholas Goulet, his wife Casey, daughters Morgan, and Liv of Methuen; and friends whose lives she touched so profoundly.
