Cully Lee Boudreaux

We are saddened to announce the passing of Cully Lee Boudreaux on August 16th 2021 after a long and full life. He passed peacefully at home in Georgetown, TX with his loving wife Pat by his side. He was 70 years old.

Cully was the firstborn child of Rogers Bernard Boudreaux and Mae Ella Guidry on July 30th 1951 in Raceland, LA.

Cully married the love of his life, Patricia Ann Hebert, in Cut Off, LA on July 29th, 1972. They have two children, Robert and Christopher.

He acquired a life-long love of boating and fishing from his grandfather Lipton Guidry. Throughout his life, he always spoke of his favorite times working on the tugboats and running the lines with his père. It was this love of the Louisiana water that helped him make the decision in 1971 to join the US Navy.

In the Navy, he was part of the crews for the USS Enterprise and the USS Texas as a nuclear operator. He loved the experience of traveling the world in service to his country. He left the Navy after serving 8 years having attained the rank of Petty Officer First Class.

After the Navy, he began a 30+ career in the nuclear power industry. Cully worked at Waterford III in Louisiana and Pacific Nuclear in Georgia before moving to Texas and joining STP in March of 1994. He retired from STP in 2006 when he and Pat moved to Sun City in Georgetown, TX.

Cully loved the community of Sun City. He was active in the hunting and fishing club and worked hard to improve his golf game as often as he could. Sun City also helped him keep up with his traveling, seeing new shows, dining events and all the other activities he was able to participate in as a resident. Even after his health prevented his participation in the community events, he always felt blessed to be part of a neighborhood that tried to be there for him and Pat in his last years.

Cully was a loving family man with a sharp wit and a generous heart. As his boys were growing up, his focus was always on participating in the boys’ activities in any way he could. Many a night was spent sleeping on a gym floor before another band performance miles from home. He’d be laughing with frozen fingers as he pulled another soda out of an ice chest at yet another football or baseball game doing his concession stand duties. Laughing over the campfire with the other scouts during their Boy Scout campouts. He enjoyed hours teaching his boys how to fish and golf and catch that line drive. He wanted nothing more than to spend his free time enjoying his family.

He was overjoyed to be a grandfather to 5 amazing children. His grandsons Robert Charles, Cully James, and Matthew Logan and his two granddaughters Jasmine Nichole and Cadence Michelle. He loved to see his family tree grow and watching his grandchildren marrying and starting families of their own. One of his favorite moments was getting to get to spend time with the newest member of his family, his great-grandson Nicholas Robert Boudreaux.

For himself, Cully enjoyed all sports, playing softball, fishing and golfing through most of his life. He loved being on a boat and couldn’t wait for his next fishing trip to the coast. His greatest joy in sports or fishing was the opportunity to teach a child and see their smile when they saw success. The most important thing in his life was his wife Pat with whom he was married to for 49 years. It was this love that most sustained him through the last few years of health issues and brought him a constant stream of laughter and joy until the very end.

Cully is survived by his wife Pat, his siblings Kim Boudreaux of St. Rose, LA, Russell Doucet of Lewisville, TX, Robert Boudreaux of Chauvin, LA, and Stacey Molinere of Grand Bois, LA. Cousin Harriet Cheramie of Cut Off, LA, Uncle Jeff Boudreaux of Chauvin, LA, and all his grandchildren and his great grandchild.

He was predeceased by his mother and father, and his grandparents Lipton and Lillian Guidry of Galliano, LA.

He will be missed by his family and friends but we are happy he has finally found peace in heaven and will look forward to when we are all together again.

A graveside service will be held on Friday, September 10, 2021 at 1:00 PM at the Central Texas State Veterans Cemetery, 11463 TX-195, Killeen, TX 76542, with celebrant Donna Mayfield officiating.
