We are heartbroken to announce the death of our mother Rita Boudreau. She passed away peacefully at the age of 86 surrounded by her children. We will miss her very much.
Rita was employed at Heath Brook School as a Kindergarten aide and retired after 20 long fun filled years.
She was an avid crocheter, sharing her talent and gifts of crocheted items with friends and family around the world.
She loved to travel, enjoying trips to many far off places with her family, one highlight being realizing her lifelong dream of touching the Eiffel Tower.
She was a die hard fan of all New England sports teams, cheering on her beloved Red Sox in the summer, Patriots in the fall and Bruins in the winter.
She loved reading and playing Scrabble.
Her favorite place of all was the beach. She has visited many around the world and would be found most sunny (or cloudy!) summer days on the nearest beach with a book in hand. But her greatest pleasure was being anywhere surrounded by her children and grandchildren.
She is survived by her brothers, John and Rodney Choroszy, her children, Debra Morin of Yarmouthport, MA, Donna Hill of Tewksbury, MA, Daniel Boudreau and his wife, Susan, of Tewksbury, MA, Diana Mulligan and her husband, Thomas, of Plymouth, MA, Dennis Boudreau of Hudson, NH, Doug Boudreau and his wife, Lexy, of Arlington, VA, David Boudreau and his wife, Samantha, of Brookline, NH and Dana Boudreau and his wife, Danielle, of Hudson, NH.
