Michael Couture Obituary

Michael R. Couture, 70, of Seminole, FL, and formerly of Manchester, NH, died April 21, 2025, after a prolonged battle with pancreatic cancer.

Michael was born in Kittery, Maine, the son of Constance Couture and the late Raoul Couture.

After graduating from Memorial High School, he obtained a degree from New Hampshire Technical College. Michael worked for Hobart Food Equipment for 35 years as a service technician. After moving to Florida, he worked part-time for Napa Auto Parts.

Mike, as his friends and family call him, was a friend of Bill for over 30 years. A selfless individual, he was passionate about helping and supporting others. He enjoyed the warm Florida climate, gardening, and yard work. He especially was fond of tending his cactuses. Mike also was an avid reader.

Michael is survived by his wife, Elizabeth St. Laurent; mother, Constance Couture; sister, Cynthia Santos and husband, Mark; brother, Gregory Couture; sister, Christina Giovagnoli; and nieces and nephews.

Private services will be held at a later date.

Donations in Michael's memory may be directed to Seminole County Animal Services at 232 Eslinger Way, Sanford, FL 32773.
