Jeanne M. Gaudette

Jeanne Marie Gaudette, born November 20, 1933, in Haverhill, Massachusetts, passed away peacefully on March 29, 2026, in St. Petersburg, Florida. She was a beloved wife, mother, sister, grandmother, and friend, remembered with great affection and respect by all who knew her.

She was preceded in death by her husband of 65 years, Albert Gaudette, her daughter, Dianne Graham; her parents, Roland and Marion Perrault; and her sister, Barbara Edgar. These family connections shaped much of Jeanne’s life and influenced the caring person she became.

Jeanne was a faithful member of Saint Joseph’s Catholic Church in Orlando for 40 years. Her life was defined by faith as well as her unwavering dedication to her family.

She was known for her gentle nature, always generously giving of her time, to listen and support those in her life. Her love for her family was evident in every moment she endeavored to spend with them, always seeking ways to help and nurture through practical life skills and heartfelt lessons.

Her fondest memories included simple and meaningful moments such as taking walks together as a family, enjoying a memorable trip to Washington D.C., and the joy she found in experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen. Cooking was not only a hobby but a way she expressed her love and creativity, alongside her dedication to Jazzercise and a passion for sewing.

Jeanne leaves behind an enduring legacy of love and dedication that lives on through her children—Lawrence, Stephen, Gregory, and Matthew—who carry forward her spirit and values. She is also lovingly remembered by her brothers, Francis and Roland Perrault, and her sister, Elizabeth Denise. Her grandchildren—Katherine Graham, Christian Gaudette, and Victor Gaudette—were sources of immense pride and joy for her.

A Funeral Mass will be held at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Orlando on April 24th 10:00AM. Burial will immediately follow at Chapel Hill Cemetery in Orlando.
