On Thursday April 9, 2020, our beloved Mother, Grandmother, Wife, and Sister Cheri Ann Condreay passed away unexpectedly from surgical complications at Providence Holy Cross Hospital in Mission Hills, California. She was 75 years old. Cheri Ann Bolduc was born in 1944 at Saint Joseph’s Hospital, in Denver Colorado. Daughter to the late Joseph Arthur Bolduc and Alice Marie Bolduc. The family relocated to the West Los Angeles area of California in the early 1950’s and bought a home one block from Venice High School where they lived and raised their family. She graduated from Venice High School in 1962. Cheri was very active with surfing and beach activities in the Santa Monica / Venice area. She tested and passed the rigorous Ocean Life Guard training and was made a Los Angeles County Life Guard at Venice Beach. A loving wife to the late Jerry Condreay. She met and started dating Jerry in Spring of 1963, and then went on to be married. They bought a house in the San Fernando Valley in 1964, where they lived and started a family. Jerry was drafted during the Vietnam War soon after, they had to rent out the home they had just bought so that they could stay together as a family. They moved to on-base housing in both Georgia and Missouri. Eventually Jerry was sent off to war, which led to Cheri moving in with Clarence and Marguerite Condreay in Inglewood, Colorado. After the war they moved back into their home in Reseda, California and continued to live and raise
their family.
In the 1970’s, Cheri began attending classes at Pierce College to attain her Real Estate License with the state of California. Her real estate career led her to buy the family home in Northridge. She went on to have a successful and award-winning career selling numerous homes and working for some of the largest real estate companies in the greater Los Angeles area. She finished her career at The Olson Agency in Porter Ranch where her license remained active up until her passing.
After her husband retired in 2003, they spent many years traveling the world together. Traveling was something she loved most, with her most recent trip being to Asia in the fall 2019. She joined the Red Hat Society and was an active member of the Gilded Red Roses in which she attended numerous events and lunches, making lots of friends along the way. She was also an active member of the Canadian Women’s Club of Los Angeles. Cheri has always been active and outgoing with a very strong sense of direction. She was very headstrong, steadfast and never wavered in her opinions. On the other hand, she was also very loving, caring and generous in every sense. She would go out of her way to help you if ever need be. She was a firm believer in holiday traditions and was always trying to plan a date for the family to get together. She even continued to buy the kids Easter baskets with chocolate bunnies every year even though they were in there 20’s and far from being little kids. In her eyes they were always kids. Cheri was a loving wife to Jerry, Mother to David and Daniel and Grandmother to Matthew, Michelle, Stephanie, Catherine, and Christopher.
She is incredibly loved and will be missed by all.
