Age 91, Cheticamp passed away peacefully on Thursday, July 4, 2024 at the Foyer Père Fiset Guest Home, Cheticamp. Therese was a daughter of the late Patrick and the late Josephine (Roach) Boudreau.
Mom was loved by everyone. She was always available to lend a helping hand to anyone who needed it. She loved being around her children and grandchildren. She was a very loving mother to her three boys. Mom worked for many years at the Carmel Centre in New Waterford, cooking many wonderful meals for the nuns, until her retirement. She had the biggest heart you could ever imagine.

The family would like to thank the many family and friends that came to visit her at the Foyer. She enjoyed visiting with everyone. A very special thank you to her niece, Geralda, and her sister, Zabeth, who went above and beyond to make sure Mom had everything she needed. We would also like to thank all the staff at the Foyer Père Fiset for their kindness and compassion they showed towards our Mom. We deeply appreciate it.
Funeral mass will be celebrated on Wednesday, July 10, 2024 at 10:30 am in St. Peter’s Church, Cheticamp with Father Pierre Antoine St. Cyr officiating. Burial will be in Mount Carmel Cemetery, New Waterford.

Condolences
She was a very sweet and caring lady. I had the pleasure of knowing her as I worked at the Foyer for several years while she was there. Her favorite thing to tell us : travaillez pas trop dure… (don’t work too hard). Mes sympathies à toute la familles.

Love Beatrice, Marlene and Doreen. (Poirier)
