Victoire Couture Obituary
Vickie, the youngest of eight children, was born to Leda Roy and Armand Lajeunesse on April 8, 1943, and made her life in Barre. Vickie attended St. Monica's School graduating from Marion High School, Class of 1961. Vickie met her husband, Roger Couture, sitting behind him in kindergarten class. Vickie and Roger were married on July 18, 1964.
Vickie was hardworking all her life. After graduating from high school, Vickie got her start in banking at the First National Bank of Montpelier. Vickie also worked in real estate, ultimately retiring from the VSECU Credit Union in 2008. In everything she did, Vickie had a gift for being patient and caring for people.
Vickie is predeceased by her parents and brothers, Red, Raymond and John.

She is survived by her sisters, Claire Brassard and her husband Norman, Mary Jane Plante and Margaret Guilmette-Fitts and her husband Homer, and by her brother Roland Lajeunesse and his wife Ronnie.
Vickie had creative gifts beyond compare and bestowed her friends, family and community innumerable treasures including her porcelain dolls, her sewing projects and most recently her jewelry creations.
The family would like to extend a sincere thank you to Mountainview Medical, all the health care providers from Central Vt. Home Health, and most especially Terry Boudreau.

I didn't know her personally but I came to know her when she worked at VSECU. She helped me through several difficult, tricky banking procedures. She was very helpful and friendly and patient with me as I navigated unknown territory. I remember one time especially when her friendly smile and patience were greatly appreciated. A great lady.
