November 11, 1941 — June 19, 2024
Ware - Betty J. (Martin) Couture, 82, of Ware, passed away peacefully at Quaboag Rehabilitation & Skilled Care Center on Wednesday, June 19, 2024.
She leaves her daughters, Brenda (Rene) and Belinda (Chris) both of Ware; her sons, Brad (Ann) of North Brookfield and Bonheur (Mary) of Ware; her grandchildren, Marc, Timothy, Brandon, Cordelia, Jobe, Brandon, Kyle, Chaz, and Willow; as well as numerous great-grandchildren. She was predeceased by her beloved husband of 23 years, Bonheur Couture, in 1986; by her son, B. Norman Couture; and by her siblings, Fred and Ruth. She was born in Stafford Springs, CT, daughter of the late Frederick "Micky" and Gertrude "Dot" (Phaneuf) Martin.
Betty worked as a Nurse's Aide at both Brookhaven Assisted Care and the former Quaboag on the Common for many years. She took charge as a Leader for both the Cub Scouts and the Girl Scouts, and she was referred to as "mom" by nearly everybody in town.
Betty was a loving and devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, a kind and caring sister, and a loyal friend to many. She enjoyed spending time with family and friends, watching Elvis and Hallmark movies, dancing, reading, playing cribbage, crocheting, and playing cards on Sundays as well as drag racing - where she met her husband Bonheur. She also enjoyed traveling to New Hampshire to visit her family.
She was a member of the Scouting Community and was an honorary member of the Lost Town Brewery mug club.
A graveside service for Betty will be held privately in honor of her wishes. A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, June 29, 2024 at 2:00PM at the Aspen Rod & Gun Club in Ware. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Brookhaven Assisted Care, 19 West Main Street, West Brookfield, MA 01585, or to Quaboag Rehabilitation and Skilled Care Center, 47 East Main Street, West Brookfield, MA 01585.
