Our loving mother Lucienne Lorraine (Belletete) Betourney passed away peacefully on September 23, 2024 in Englewood, Florida at the age of 96. She was born on August 25, 1928 in Winchendon, Massachusetts. She graduated from Murdock High School in 1946 and then went on to marry the love of her life Maurice Betourney on April 19, 1947. They became lovingly known as “Spud” and “Lou.” They began their family and purchased a beautiful home in Rindge, New Hampshire where they continued raising their family. Lou and Spud retired to Florida, where they enjoyed golf and traveling for the remainder of their lives.
Lou was known as an excellent seamstress and exceptional wedding cake creator. She worked as an LPN at the Winchendon Hospital, where she was known for her compassionate patient care. She also worked at New Hampshire Ball Bearing and Teleflex. She enjoyed bowling, playing golf, and playing cards with friends and family.
Lucienne enjoyed sitting on a porch in New Hampshire or a deck in Florida watching the birds and wildlife that happened to come by to say hello. She enjoyed the many trips back-and-forth visiting. She found joy in the small things and special moments she spent with family and friends. She never wanted to be the center of attention. Her family and Catholic faith were the building blocks of Lucienne’s legacy. Her hug meant the world, nobody else held us so tight or made us feel so right, no one‘s eyes shine so bright with love as our mom who is now high above!
Lucienne is survived by her daughter Nancy Hall, her husband Frank, her daughter Sandra Buzzell, her husband Dennis, her son Brian Betourney, his wife Molly, her daughter Marylou Duval, her husband David. Her grandchildren, Corey, Collin, Diana, Sharon, Shyenne, Matthew, Ashley, Aaron, Felicia, Jeremy, Shelbie, Twenty four great grandchildren, eight great great grandchildren, and several nieces and nephews.
