Mary Boudreau Obituary
September 12, 1945 - March 6, 2025
Bradenton, Florida - Mary Frances "Fran" Boudreau (Carroll), 79, passed away peacefully on March 6, 2025, in Bradenton, Florida.
Fran was born on September 12, 1945, in Chattanooga, Tennessee. She graduated from Kirkman High School in 1963. In 1965, she met and married the love of her life, Laurence D. Boudreau. Together, they built a life filled with love and adventure, spending many years in Dayville, Connecticut, before retiring to Florida.
Fran had a fierce spirit and an unwavering love for her family. She cherished time spent with her loved ones and found joy in simple pleasures-playing bingo, reading a good book, and embarking on cruises with Larry that allowed her to explore the world while making cherished memories.
She is survived by her devoted husband of 60 years, Laurence D. Boudreau; her daughters April DeLoach and Sheri (Brad) Claussen; her grandchildren Dylan (Taylor) DeLoach, Nicholas (ABSD) DeLoach, Caitlyn DeLoach, Kara Claussen, Jacob Claussen, and Gavin Claussen; and her great-grandchildren DJ, Grayson, Hayley, and Ellie DeLoach. She also leaves behind her siblings Lucille (Andy) Wilson, James (Donna) Carroll, Charles Carroll, David Carroll, Carolyn (Robert) Carmody, Johnny (Annette) Carroll, and Ricky (Rocky) Carroll; as well as two beloved bonus sons, Gary Provost and Clyde Baker.
She was preceded in death by her parents James and Virginia Carroll; her beloved son Roger Boudreau; and her sisters Betty Jean Morgan and Joanne Gaddis.
