She was the loving sister to Carol Lafrance (Daniel), Pierre Boudreau (Christine), Emile Boudreau Jr. (Lise), and Daniel Boudreau (Sharon).

Family was everything to Thérèse and she will be lovingly remembered by her many Boudreau and Hébert cousins and for the active role she played in helping organize family reunions. She also had a close group of loyal friends in North Bay that she considered family, they will miss her dearly.
Thérèse dedicated her work life to helping others. She began her career as a nurse working in North Bay, Temiskaming, Ottawa and London. She moved back to North Bay the 1990s and entered the education field. Thérèse took great pride in her role as an Educational Assistant at École public Héritage working closely with children with special needs whom she lovingly referred to as ‘my kids’.

The family thanks all the doctors, nurses and health care workers for the incredible support and compassion they provided during her illness.
