Francis H. Beaudry, III

Warren – Francis H. Beaudry, III, 65, of Warren, passed away peacefully at his home on Monday evening, March 9, 2026, following a brief period of declining health. 

He leaves his sister-in-law, Andrea S. Beaudry of South Carolina, and his nieces and nephews, Samantha Cardaropoli of Westfield, Jonathan Beaudry of Virginia Beach, Nicholas Beaudry of Louisiana, Elizabeth Beaudry of Ludlow, Benjamin J. Beaudry of Woodstock, CT, and Jillian Beaudry of Sturbridge, along with many great-nieces and great-nephews, extended family members, and dear friends. He was predeceased by his siblings, Maureen and Michael Beaudry. 

Born in Ware, he was the son of the late Francis H. Beaudry, Jr. and Dorothy M. (O’Keefe) Beaudry, to whom he was deeply devoted, caring for them with love as they grew older. Fran graduated from Quaboag Regional High School and later from Rob Roy Academy in Worcester. He was known as a hardworking and dedicated man who took pride in his work and the relationships he built throughout his life. He worked as an event coordinator at the Host Hotel in Sturbridge and later as a member of the event staff at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston.

Fran had a unique sense of style, a quick wit, and a wonderful sense of humor that brought laughter to those around him. Kind-hearted and genuine, he had a way of making people feel welcome and valued. He also had a deep love for Cape Cod and especially enjoyed spending time in Provincetown during the summers, where he found joy in the ocean, the community, and the simple moments that made those days special. 

He will be remembered for his hard work, his loyalty to family, and the many friendships he cherished. He was loved by many and will be deeply missed, but his warmth, laughter, and the memories he created will live on in the hearts of those who knew him.

 A Graveside Service for Fran will be held in Pine Grove Cemetery in Warren in the late spring. Varnum Funeral Home, 43 East Main St., West Brookfield, is assisting his family with his care and arrangements. An online tribute page is available at varnumfuneralhome.com
