A memorial bench on Hole 3 at Cedar Ridges Golf Course was installed and dedicated (made and donated by Big D’s Oil Field Services) at Cedar Ridges Golf Course in Rangely last weekend and the annual couples tournament will, from now on, be known as the Ellen Boudreaux Couples Classic, in her honor. “It was her favorite tournament to play in,” her daughter-in law and one of the tournament organizers, Norian Edwards said. “She played with Clark (Norian’s husband) each year. Norian and Clark finished second to champions Douglas and Britt Choate of Battlement Mesa Golf Club, in the field of 31 teams, divided into four flights. Edwards said a “large amount” of donations and sponsorships were gathered and will be used to construct a memorial wall at the Rangely Cemetery. “Before Ellen passed she was working hard at raising money for that wall,” Edwards said. “She wanted a place where family and friends could go to reflect and remember their loved ones that didn’t have a plot. We wanted to make her dream a reality and we are so much closer, thanks to all the sponsors, donations and the raffle. It was a great turnout, with great people and a memorable weekend for Ellen’s family for sure!” Clark Edwards is pictured teeing off No. 3.
