Ann S. Thibodaux announces retirement from St. Joseph Manor, New administrator appointed
Ann Thibodaux
Ben Bolton
By Jane t Marcel Ann S. Thibodaux, who has been serving as administrator of St. Joseph Manor in Thibodaux for the past 25 years, has announced that she will be retiring at the end of this month.
“After much prayerful consideration, I made the decision to retire in March 2020 about a year ago. The bittersweet decision was definitely not an easy one as I truly love working with the board of directors, residents and staff at the Manor. I have been blessed serving as administrator from the Manor’s inception until now. My years at the Manor and Cardinal Place have been very rewarding and have given me many great memories to treasure,” says Thibodaux.
Ben Bolton has been appointed as the new administrator by the board of directors, effective Feb. 1. The Vacherie native was hired in March 2016 as the administrative assistant of St. Joseph Manor and Cardinal Place. In August of 2018, he was promoted to assistant administrator of both facilities.
Bolton earned an associate’s degree in cardiopulmonary care science and a bachelor’s degree in history from Nicholls State University in Thibodaux.
He and his wife Adrienne Naquin-Bolton have been married for 13 years and they have three children, Olivia, eight; Aaron, five; and Adele, 19 months. They are parishioners of Christ the Redeemer Church in Thibodaux.
“Ben Bolton has done an excellent job during his four years at the Manor. He is a devout Catholic and an extremely well-qualified leader who will continue to successfully move the Manor forward,” says Thibodaux. BC
