Yvonne J. Lacouture, 72, of Woonsocket died Sunday November 3, 2019 surrounded by her loving family. She was the wife of John H. Lacouture of North Carolina.
Born and raised in Woonsocket she was a daughter of the late Arthur and Doris (Pelland) Dupuis. She was a resident of Woonsocket for most of her life. She also lived in North Carolina for a short while.
Yvonne was employed in the local textile industry and was also a warehouse worker. Additionally she worked at Debbie’s Dog Salon on Front St. in Woonsocket.
Yvonne was resident of Chateau Clare. She liked to play bingo and volunteered as a bingo caller. Through thick-and-thin, in-season and out, win or lose, Yvonne was staunch member of Red Sox Nation. She was talented at cross-stitch. She was a supporter of Camp Ker-Anna. Yvonne’s hunt for a bargain knew no bounds and she spent countless hours frequenting yard sales, flea markets and bazaars.
Yvonne was a friendly and outgoing person. She was a happy and loving soul who cared for everyone. Throughout her life she carried a small bit of the always positive glass half-full sunshine somewhere outlook from the days of her youth. You could say Yvonne was still a Hippie – you’d be correct! She loved music and as a matter of face Rock-and-Roll was the soundtrack of Yvonne’s life. To let loose and dance was right up Yvonne’s alley – who cares who’s watching – join in the fun!
Yvonne will be remembered for her love and dedication to her family. Her children were the focus of her life. Her furry friend and faithful companion “Baby Girl”, ever by her side, brought Yvonne constant joy and comfort.
