ANGELA MAE HAASE

(née GOODMAN)

March 6, 1968 – August 4, 2022

It is with great sadness that the family of Angela Hasse née Goodman announces her peaceful passing with her family by her side on August 4, 2022, at the age of 54 years. 

 

Angela will be lovingly remembered and deeply missed by her children Calvin and Aaron, her parents, Doug and Louise Goodman, her siblings Stacey Webster (Jarret), Derek Goodman (Dawn), and nieces and nephews Joshua, Reece, Nicholas, Conner, Bridgette, Grace and Great Niece Alexa and Great Nephew Lukas. Her many cousins, Godchildren, and close friends will also miss Angela. 

 

Angela was born in Thompson but raised in Winnipeg and Calgary. Angela graduated High School in Winnipeg and then attended Red River Community College. After college, she moved to Vancouver to work as a CAD designer before heading back to Thompson to start a career with Inco (Vale) that spanned 31 years. 

 

Angela started her career as a designer with Inco in the engineering department in 1991. She transferred to the Information Technology department in 2010 to work as an IT Business partner. According to Angela's coworkers, she had an excellent understanding of the mining business and how the power of technology could improve mining safety and production. Angela was never afraid to roll up her sleeves and tackle any job. She was always optimistic and focused on positive results. She was known to say, "every problem has a solution.". 

 

Angela fell in love with her hometown and the North. She picked out her piece of paradise on Liz Lake, and with the help of her Dad, they designed and built her dream home. Her boys grew up in the house she created, and they took advantage of all that nature had to offer. 

 

Angela was also involved in the community. She joined the weekly Hash Run and played Ringette in the early days. Later volunteering her time on the Paint Lake Cottage Owners Association and Thompson Minor Hockey Association as both Calvin and Aaron played hockey.  Angela loved music, there was always music playing in the house. She enjoyed countless concerts and festivals. Concerts were something that Shelley and Angela enjoyed doing together. 

 

Angela also loved to travel and had many adventures with her friends and boys. Angela loved her camper checking out new campgrounds, especially with extended family. Another one of her favorite things to do was her annual canoe trip with the Canoe Sisters. What happened on the trip stayed on the trip, so no stories to tell. Floating off her dock in her piece of the lake had to be one of her top favorite things. She and her friends and family could spend hours out there.

 

Angela was an excellent mother. She was fiercely independent and very brave. She raised her boys to be strong, kind young men and was immensely proud of them. Angela held onto her convictions and could be strong-willed at times but never unkind. She was hardworking and always caring for others. Proof of this are the many friends she has gained over the years; she will be greatly missed.

 

Angela did not lose her battle with cancer; you cannot lose something you can never win. There is nothing Angela set out to do that she did not succeed at; she simply ran out of time. 

 

A Celebration of Life will follow at a later date. In the meantime, Angela's family kindly requests that all of her friends and relatives take a few minutes to honour her memory by watching the photo-biography above. Please, also consider sharing your own photos, memories, and stories by making use of the comment section on this page.

 

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.

What a great video tribute to Angela.  She truly enjoyed life and always helped others.  I worked briefly with Angela remotely from Sudbury. She always helped us: from finding the right person, to locate a missing package.  No task was too small.  Best wishes to her family.  Honour her at your next boating or quad outing.

Angela was so warm and positive. Fiercely independent and determined. She truly could not have done more…time is all she lacked. These beautifully written words truly reflect everything she offered and everything she leaves behind.  My most sincere condolences to both Calvin and Aaron. From the time I met your mom, right up until my very last conversation with her, it was so very clear that she loved you more than anything and that she was immensely proud of both of you. I’m sorry that she left way too soon, and I hope you find comfort in the memories you’ve created as well as the vast network of loved ones who remain. You are all in my thoughts. Angela was an amazing woman, and she will be incredibly missed.  Take care.

Such a wonderful person lost too soon. The world was a better place with Ang in it. I worked with her when she was in Engineering, and also when she became a colleague in the IT group. Her passion and desire to make Thompson a better place was evident in every conversation we had. She fought hard for the people there, and she was winning the battle, but as said, she just ran out of time. Sorry for the loss.

I wanted to send my condolences to Angela's family.  She was a beautiful soul and a genuinely warm person that was always a pleasure to work with and talk too.  May she rest in peace.❤

I want to share my condoleances to Angela's family, friends and anyone who knew her. I joined Vale during the pandemic and did not personally meet Angela, but we were in a few meetings together; when I got the news I figured checking out this tribute was the least I could do to celebrate her memory. I can see the joy she brought to the spaces she was in, and the warmth she'd wrap around those who were fortunate to meet her. May she rest in peace. To her children and close ones, I hope you find the strength to go through this difficult moment.

Sincerest condolences.  I am deeply saddened to hear of her passing.  I was not aware the cancer had returned. 😢  Angela and I worked together at Inco in Thompson (Engineering and IT).  She brought joy and positivity to work every day and had a deep genuine care for people.  Nothing got her down and she worked hard to bring others up.  At work she always wanted to make things better.  Improve processes, eliminate waste and reduce bureaucracy... and always making time to celebrate and have fun.  Sharing a team pic with Angela up at the Voisey's Bay mine site (Labrador) in 2011.

Angela was one of the first friends I met when I moved to Thompson.  She had a laugh like no other and a smile that would light up the room.  I always admired her strength and willingness to tackle anything that life threw at her.    The world was a better place with Angela in it and I will miss her dearly.  Words cannot express how sad I am for Calvin, Aaron and the rest of her family.
