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.

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.
