Patricia “Pat” Ardoin Boudreaux, age 98, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, June 19, 2024, at home with her loving family. Pat was the beloved wife of the late Godfrey Alvin Boudreaux and the mother of Patsy Boudreaux Fremin (the late Glynn S. Fremin). She was born on January 7, 1926, in Eunice, La., and was the daughter of the late Sosthene Benedict Ardoin and Susan Moncla Ardoin.

She moved to New Orleans in 1940, and in 1947 she moved to Algiers, where she resided for many years. She retired in 1981 from the United States Navy after 34 years of loyal service. She is survived by her daughter Patsy; her grandsons Nicholas S. Fremin (Hillary) and Patrick A. Fremin; her sister Susan A.

She was preceded in death by five of her siblings and their spouses: Sosthene Ardoin, Jr. (Theresa), Joseph Ardoin (Phyllis), Fay Baudier (Lloyd), Mary Lee Higgins (Ronald) and Michael Ardoin. 

She was indelibly involved in New Orleans Carnival for many years with her husband Godfrey, who served as Captain of the Krewe of Choctaw for 25 years. The family would like to extend their sincere thanks to Gayle M. Odum for her devotion and care throughout countless years.
