Bette Couture Obituary
Bette loved Christmas and everything to do with the holiday. She was instrumental in bringing the Living Christmas Tree tradition to the city of Dover's Henry Law Park.
She enjoyed many years of gardening at their cottage on Dover Point and at their home on the south side of Dover. She was an accomplished baker of pies during the Thanksgiving holiday and many of her recipes have been passed on to her children.
Bette is survived by her children, Sally Cobb and her husband, Chuck of Dover, Linda Spinney and her husband, David of Ossipee, Martin Couture and his wife, Patti of Rochester; and six grandchildren Joshua Neff and his fiancé Noelle of Michigan and their children Aurora and Barick and his older daughter Dahlia of Las Vegas, Michael Wallace and his wife, Lydia of Great Britain, Christina Nasuti and her husband James of Rochester and their daughters Emma Grass and Vadalynn Nasuti, Courtney Noella Couture, Zacharia Cobb and his wife, Jessica of Lee and their son James, and Elijah Cobb. She is also survived by her sister, Dorothy Daigle of Dover, and many nieces and nephews.
She was predeceased by her husband, Richard Couture in 2007.

I have known Bette for many years and she has always been one of my favorites! I treated her when she accidentally broke her ankle and for many issues regarding her mobility since then. We shared many stories, antidotes, memories and pleasant conversations since then. She was very conversant over the past few months, smiling and sweet.
I will always remember her...

I hope, at the end, Bette considered me a friend, because I sure did look at her as one. I met Bette late in her life, sometime this past spring. I'm a Hospice volunteer for Cornerstone VNA and was asked to visit with Bette. Bette was wary of me at first, not making eye contact or talking much, but then she never did talk much but what she did say was worth listening to. I read Little House on the Prairie to Bette. She sometimes helped hold the book as I read. We went through almost three books together. She was a good audience and I really liked her. I will miss her.
