Elizabeth Davis Boudreau, 91, formerly of Skaneateles, NY passed away surrounded by family on July 13th.  Beth was born in Geneva, Illinois to Ralph Waldo Davis and Geraldine W Davis on May 19, 1928.  After she attained Valedictorian at Sullins High School in 1946, she married Dr. Robert Page Boudreau on July 2, 1947.  For the following fifteen years during Bob’s residency and Fellowships they moved to North Carolina, Boston, Philadelphia, London, Sweden, Baltimore, and finally returned to Bob’s hometown, Syracuse, in 1962 settling in DeWitt. In 1964 they built a house on Skaneateles Lake, where they moved permanently in 1970.  
While raising six children Beth was always ready to contribute to the needs of local charities Meals-On-Wheels, Friends in Service Here (FISH), Unity Acres, and Unity Kitchen, where she and Bob helped prepare meals every Monday in Bob’s retirement.
Passionate about opera and other classical music, Beth co-founded, with the collaboration of close friends Lindsay Grove and Louise Robinson, the Skaneateles Chamber Music Festival in 1979, originally held on the second floor of the library.  Today, the Skaneateles Festival is an international music festival bringing world-class music to Skaneateles Lake.  Beth served as the first President and was instrumental in obtaining designation with the New York State Council for The Arts (NYSCA) that allowed the Festival to grow to what it is today.
Beautiful, elegant, brilliant, and compassionate, Beth was loved by all who knew her. She was extremely well read and a voracious reader and an avid gardener, who surrounded her home on the lake with breathtaking flower gardens. Most of all she was a warm, kind and generous person who opened her home and her heart to many travelers, musicians, friends and family, who will carry strains of Beth in themselves.
Beth is predeceased by her husband of 56 years, Bob, her brother Scott Davis, brother-in-law, Donald Boudreau, and sister-in-law, Elizabeth (Liz) Fagan Boudreau.
Beth is survived by her six children; Elizabeth S., Robert (Alison Gilles), Edward (Zui Hui), Thomas, Kathleen (Jack Joyce), Michael (Julie Stafford), seven grandchildren; Eleanor, Paul, Julia Martin, Ian Joyce, Dylan Joyce, Emily, Hannah, two great grandchildren; Abigail and Robert Martin, and sister-in-law Betty Jane Boudreau.
            Calling hours will be held at Robert D. Gray Funeral Home, Skaneateles on Wednesday from 4 to 7PM.  A mass of Resurrection will be celebrated at St Mary’s of the Lake Church, 81 Jordan St., Skaneateles on Thursday beginning at 10:00am. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Skaneateles Festival and Unity Kitchen.

Dear Betsy, Bob, Ned, Tom, Kathy, Michael, and family,
So sorry to read of your wonderful mother’s passing this morning. She and your dad were truly a blessing to our family. I recall Beth’s kindness in welcoming Patty and our new born son, Tim, into her home, when I was away at school back in the early 60’s. She was always there for others in her many charitable causes. You guys have been so blessed to have had her as your mom. May she be at peace.

Your Mom was a soft-spoken and very ladylike force of nature. Many memories of Clarmar Rd and Skaneateles.

With great affection, Pat

To all the Boudreaus: Please know your family is in our thoughts and our prayers. Your parents were wonderful friends of our family. We have fondest memories of your mother and her gracious friendship to Sheila and Ted. As that gravestone in Ireland says: Death leaves a memory nothing can heal; but love leaves a memory no one can steal. May your mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother rest in peace.

I TESTED POSITIVE FOR HSV-2 A FEW MONTHS AGO.
At first, Yes, I was devastated thinking I have an incurable STD for life. After doing hours of research I quickly realized genital herpes is a filthy parasite that just likes to hide in your body. Yes, There’s no “medical cure” but that doesn’t mean your body can’t get rid of it. I literally flush it out of my system with the help of Doctor Azuka, A natural herbal medicine which I ordered after doing some research. And now I’m HSV-2 negative, I never believed it until my doctor finally gave me the test results and behold I was HSV-2 free. I’m so glad that I found you, Doctor Azuka. Thanks so much for your goodness I’m grateful. You can also get your help from him through his

My ex-husband and I had always managed to stay friendly after our divorce in February 2017. But I always wanted to get back together with him, All it took was a visit to this spell casters website last December, because my dream was to start a new year with my husband, and live happily with him.. This spell caster requested a specific love spell for me and my husband, and I accepted it. And this powerful spell caster began to work his magic. And 48 hours after this spell caster worked for me, my husband called me back for us to be together again, and he was remorseful for all his wrong deeds. My spell is working because guess what: My “husband” is back and we are making preparations on how to go to court and withdraw our divorce papers ASAP. This is nothing short of a miracle. Thank you Dr Emu for your powerful spells. Words are not enough.

How many testimonies do you need to read before you can contact the spiritualist to help you with the problem you are facing that makes life look choked and undeserving? Are you passing through pregnancy problems? Or maybe you want to get back your ex lover or get a big promotion in your office? I only needed to see Dr ANOKOKUDO to help me with my pregnancy problems and my help came to me. I promised if I got pregnant that I would also come online to share my experience with the world so others who are facing similar situations will get to know that there is a solution to every situation. My name is Millie Watson and I am from Arizona, USA. If you have been reading all I have said, I just want to thank Dr Anokokudo for helping me after 8 years of infertility since I got married in 2014. I gave birth to a wonderful baby boy on Dec 5 2022 and I will share this testimony of his work in my life to anywhere help is needed. You can contact Dr Anokokudo with his email ANOKOKUDOTEMPLE@GMAIL.COM to help you with any problem you are facing and I promise you will be happy to also help others. Thank you extremely once again sir
