Doris Catherine McGinity Boudreaux

Doris Catherine McGinity Boudreaux, a lifelong resident of New Orleans until her move to Covington, LA in 2005, entered peacefully into heaven on Thursday, August 13, 2020 surrounded by her loving children, at the age of 94. Doris was born March 20, 1926 to the late Richard J. McGinity and Alice C. “Honey” McGinity. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Allen I. Boudreaux, Sr. The last survivor of four siblings, Doris was the sister of Peggy M. LeBlanc, Richard J. McGinity, Jr. and Patrick C. McGinity. The best ever loving mother, Doris is survived by her children: Allen I. Boudreaux, Jr. (Christine), Doris B. “Kit” Messa (Kenneth), Lisa M. Boudreaux, and Andree A. Boudreaux. She was a loving Manaw to her five grandchildren: Allen I Boudreaux, III (Megan), Kenneth C. “K.C.” Messa, III (Regina), Laura M. Anderson (Josh), Dr. Jessica Boudreaux Faul (Bobby), Claire E. Messa, and eight great-grandchildren. Also missing her are her nieces, nephews, and friends too numerous to list.

Doris was a proud graduate of Holy Angels Academy and a proud graduate and devoted fan of Louisiana State University, Class of 1949. Throughout the years she was an active member of many organizations, serving on various committees and often serving as an officer: Certified Public Accountants Wives Club- New Orleans Chapter (former president), Board of Directors of Alexander Milne Developmental Services (formerly known as Milne Home for Girls) (former president), Loyola Faculty Wives Club, Les Nouvelles of New Orleans Social Group, Lakeview Botany Guild Garden Club, The Marians, and NAIM of Mary Queen of Peace Catholic Church in Mandeville. In the early days of the Aquarium of the Americas, Doris volunteered as an Information Specialist. The activity which brought her the most joy was “The Go Go Girls”, a group of special friends who traveled and played cards. Doris will be forever missed by all who had the pleasure to know her but most especially by her four children who will hold her always in their hearts, and her granddog, June Bug.
