Joan Beverley Boudreau

I have been privileged to know Joni and Fred for 24 years,and they welcomed me without hesitation. I found they quickly became 'family of choice' for me.We retired 9 years ago to within 20 miles of Fred and Joan, and they attended our Christmas Eve dinner ever since, unless Joni was singing at Christmas Eve service. While with us, each evening ended with her singing a Christmas carol. This became a tradition we will sorely miss but we believe she will be singing in the Heavenly Choir from now...

In 1971,I started working for NJ Bell and for the first 8 years, I worked many times with Fred. One day, the two of us came into the bosses' office and the boss said "Well, it's the BOO and the WHO" Fred was BOO and I was WHO (tom Howe). Later on when I visited the Boudreau house, Joan would say " hello BOO Howe. I tried to tell her, I was WHO Howe and that Fred was BOO. Anyway, from then on in,Joan would always greet me as BOO Howe. Also, in the early 80s Joan would bring my mom holy...

I am so very grateful to have known Joni these past 24 years. She was one of those special people I loved within five minutes of meeting her. When we retired, we moved within 20 miles of Joni and Fred, and the past 9 years, we shared wonderful Christmas Eve dinners together... with her amazing singing at the end of the magical evening.
Joni, dear, you showed us both how to love others and love our faith. I will miss you so much.

Dear Boudreau Family - We were neighbors growing up. My deepest sympathies and hearfelt condolences to you all. I will remember you all, especially Joanie in my prayers. Ellen Piolla Brennan

To the entire Boudreau family...
My heart goes out to you all during this very difficult time. I pray that you can find comfort in knowing she has reached the place she has always dreamt about. I can picture the reunion between her and Sal, and that maded me smile. She was the kindest women I have ever been blessed to know. I will never forget her kindness and love. God bless you all.
With much love,
Evie

Thanks to the Boudreau family for a great visit to Racoon Island a few years ago. I will say a prayer for Joan.

Fred and family,
We are sorry to hear of Joanie's passing.
She will be missed by all who knew her.

grandma i will miss you and always remember you. we love you.

She was the first CCD teacher to ever get through to me. Many of the things she said and examples she set have stayed with me and I used them in my own CCD classes. Her son was a classmate of mine all through grammar school. We were bratty to her in class, but she was always caring and a shining example of Christian charity.
