  Valley
East Today would like to congratulate Henri-Paul and Jeanette Boudreau for
being people who made a huge difference in this community.
As you can see from the story below, they have been excellent role
models, not only for their children, but also for everyone who has had the
good fortune to share part of their lives.
Henri-Paul
and Jeanette Boudreau met 51 years ago. Jeanette came from
New-Brunswick and Henri-Paul from
Quebec

in
Sudbury
and Jeanette came to
Sudbury
to help out her sister and her
children. From the relocation to
Sudbury
they both met through some
friends in Hanmer and the rest is history. They wed on
September 3, 1950
. From this marriage they
got 4 lovely children. The oldest being Nicole followed by Yvon,
Michel and Carole. Their family grew bigger with 2 sons-in-law, 2
daughter-in-laws and 6 grandchildren and just recently 2
great-grandchildren from their first grandson.
Jeannette
and Henri-Paul lived all their lives in Hanmer. Both were custodians
at Ste-Anne's school in Hanmer. They are both retired now and
are enjoying life. They love to travel, visit their children and
most of all spending time which each other. Their love has been
transmitted to their children and their grandchildren. We are very
