Carl proudly served in the United States Coast Guard for four years, embodying the values of duty and service. Following his military career, he dedicated himself to a long and fulfilling tenure with the United States Postal Service, where he retired as a respected Postmaster.

A man of deep love and quiet strength, Carl was preceded in death by his high school sweetheart and beloved wife of 50 years, Cynthia Miller Boucher, and his cherished son, Stephen Jude Boucher. Carl and Cynthia’s devotion to each other was a testament to their blessed bond, a visible sign of God’s love and grace . He was also reunited in eternity with his parents, Mary Gabler Boucher and Carl Lemar Boucher, Sr., as well as his beloved mother-in-law, Eleanor Landry Miller, and his son-in-law, John Cortez Isbell.
