Elaine Donnaud Boudreau

Hi Everyone! I’ve decided to write my own obituary -- start digging Kyle! There will be no beloved, adored, cherished, etc. in this obit. I know my kids know I love them without all that! Now, on with the obit. I am Elaine Donnaud Boudreau. I died on March 30, 2020 at the age of 93. I never thought I would live to be this old. I was preceded in death by my husband, Herman, of 61 years, my parents Abel and Anacletus Donnaud, and my dear sister Dorothy Donnaud Boudreau. Dorothy Mae was not only my sister but also my sister-in-law. I’m survived by my siblings Marvin Donnaud of Cordova, TN, Carol Moyer of Amherst, NH, and Maureen Manget of St Louis, MO. Love all you people so much. Herman and I were also blessed with four children. Karen (Bubba), my beautiful daughter, thanks for all the time you spent with me in the ER and guiding me. My three sons, Kevin (Pat), Scott (Tammy), and Kyle (Jennifer), who could be a real pain in the (a__) neck sometimes, but are the cutest, sweetest guys you’ll ever meet. I would be remiss if I didn’t single out my daughter-in-law, Pat, who seemed to know what I needed before I did – love you all. Herman and I had a wonderful life. When he retired at 63, we traveled the world over. The only continent we missed was Antarctica. We rode elephants in Thailand, walked the Great Wall of China (not all of it), and went down into the Great Barrier Reef. What a blast! Our travels stopped when Herman died in 2009. When I was 90, I moved to Ville Ste Marie, an independent assisted living place. I loved it. The best move I made -- had some wonderful friends. Table 25, you know who you are. I feel like I’m on vacation every day -- thanks Tilly. I would also like to thank my dear BFF of almost 50 years, Beverly Musso -- didn’t we have some great times!! Love You! Now the grandchildren, last count 17, Stacy, Tracy, Eric, Amy, Cherie, Ryan, Marc, Kristy, Diane, Jeffrey, Natalie, Melanie, Kyle, Alex, Michael, Tristan, and Amelia. Also 17 great-grand kids (and yes I know all their names). Christmas was always so much fun and expensive. I guess this is it - ok - one more thing, please put my casino cards in my casket in case they have slot machines in heaven. Cha-ching!

Love Elaine, Ma, Grandma, and GG. See you in heaven and God Bless.
