Martine Michelle Boudreaux SUMMERVILLE - Martine Michelle Boudreaux, age 47, cherished daughter, partner, sister, aunt, friend, and educator, passed away on Monday, December 7, 2020.

Boudreaux (Carol); sister, Kristen Maxfield (Dave); brothers, Beau Boudreaux (Dorothy), Marc Boudreaux, and Guy Boudreaux; step-siblings, Dawn Ewing Mills (Allan) and Sean Ewing; 11 nieces and nephews, Grayson, Alex, and Juliette Maxfield, Olivia and Lauren Boudreaux, Emma Ewing, Beau Thompson and Blake Ewing, Nicholas Ewing, Patrick and Stephen Mills; and her beloved dog, Sadie.

A. and Ruby Boudreaux. Martine was born October 3, 1973 in Columbia, SC. Martine graduated from Cardinal Newman High School, Furman University, and College of Charleston. Although Martine's time here with us was far too short, her impact on this world was immense. As a devoted inclusive educator, Martine changed the landscape of educational opportunities for students with physical, intellectual and developmental disabilities. Her efforts were aimed at ensuring that all students learn together in the same classroom, and that students with disabilities could go on to lead meaningful, self-determined lives. Martine was loved by family, friends, and coworkers for her compassion, hilarious wit, and feisty spirit. Fiercely competitive, she was an outstanding athlete and remained a fanatical LSU fan to the core. A private family memorial service will take place on Saturday, December 12. The service will be streamed via Zoom. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Dorchester Paws SPCA.

I am so sorry to read about Martine's sad loss today. I knew her from the sorority we had both joined at Furman, but lost touch with her after college, as I ended up on the West Coast and have not been back to the area. I remember her strong personality and the unique perspective she brought to things. It saddens me to hear that she passed so young. My sincere condolences.

Martine was our 2nd daughter. She added so much to our lives. a funny intelligent sweet person. We loved her and saw how happy Angie (our 1st daughter) was with her. She is much missed.

Our deepest sympathy to all who loved and cherished Martine. My deceased husband, Bubba, coached Martine in basketball and there were few as competitive and spunky as she. Martine was a team leader and grew to be a true leader as an adult. She will be greatly missed. Peace be with all who will miss her.

To all of Martine's family, friends, students, and fellow teachers whose lives she touched in many ways, I speak personally and professionally when I say I am better for having known her, even though it was brief. Her training for our staff many years ago regarding SPED and Autism was the best training I have been to. She was funny yet wise beyond her years.
I know she is with all of her students who faced struggle in life and can see them joyfully without
struggle. The inclusiveness she fought for is right where she is now~ with her family who greeted her.
Rest peacefully now, Martine. You did an amazing job as an angel on Earth. Now watch over those here who miss you and love you.
Peace,
Kelly Etu Stanton & Family

What an amazing person. Everything I learned about autism was taught to me by Martine. She had an amazing gift for special education. Her love and enthusiasm for special needs students poured from her soul. She was a fierce advocate and will be missed.
