Mary Margaret Verlander "Nan" Boudreaux

BOUDREAUX Mary Margaret "Nan" Verlander Boudreaux, age 88, passed away on Saturday, April 3. She was preceded in death by her husband, M.O. "Buddy" Boudreaux; son Morris; parents, David E. Verlander, Sr. and Mary Walter Verlander; and siblings, Elmore Verlander, Sr. (Amelie), and Richard Verlander (Ethelyn). She is survived by her brother David E. "Pete" Verlander, Jr. (Allie); her nieces and nephews, Lynn Verlander Ralston (Wesley), Richard Verlander, Jr. (Kevin), Elmore Verlander, Jr., Leo Verlander (Kolleen), David Verlander III (Julie), Glese Ann Verlander, Jill Verlander Reed (Kenny), Peter C. Verlander (Wendy), Paul J. Verlander (Ann), Margaret Verlander Vanchiere (John); a host of devoted grand nieces and nephews; and her wonderful neighbors on Belmont Place. Nan served for many years as a special education teacher, work that typified her caring and loving nature. She was a true New Orleans lady, unfailingly elegant, mannered, and kind; and she embraced life joyfully and independently until the very day of her passing. Her quiet and unassuming faith saw her through the tragedies of her life and made her a beacon of love and hope for all whose lives she touched. "Nan" was a remarkable lady, and she will be greatly missed but never forgotten. Visitation will be at St. Benilde Catholic Church, 1901 Division St., Metairie, at 8:30 am, with Mass of Christian Burial following at 11:00 am. Interment at Lake Lawn Park Mausoleum.
