Rita L. Bruno
June 29, 1932 — June 19, 2024
Rita L. (Couture) Bruno, born June 29, 1932 in Laconia, NH to Alphonse and Antoinette (Labrecque) Couture. She died peacefully on June 19, 2024, surrounded by the love of her family. She was predeceased by her parents, first husband Richard Marcoux, son Roger Marcoux, second husband Bertram Keith, step-son John Keith; brothers Conrad, Lucien, Raymond, Jean William, and Leo (Joe) Couture; sisters Alice Fitts, Lillian Corliss, Jane Thayer and a granddaughter. She is survived by her husband, Joseph Bruno; sons Richard, Ronald, and Randall Marcoux and daughter Rebecca Llewellyn; eight grandchildren, ten great-grandchildren; brother Roger Couture; three step-children: J. Bruno, Roxane Bruno Shaw and Deborah Nelson; numerous step-grandchildren and many step-great-grandchildren. She was known as Mémère to all.
Like many in her family, she left school after eighth grade to help support her family. While raising five children, she returned to school and earned a GED. This led to a position at Chubb Life, for which she was employed for 15 years. She also spent 10 years volunteering as a “Grammy” at Sanbornton Central School and had many part-time jobs in between. As a “Grammy,” she would knit scarves every Christmas for all the first graders. Her interests included Big Band music, classic films, and crossword puzzles. She was very patriotic and was a long-term member of the American Legion Auxiliary.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Franklin Animal Shelter, PO Box 265, 19 Rescue Rd., Franklin, NH 03235 or the Franklin VNA and Hospice, 75 Chestnut St., Franklin, NH 03235.
Visiting hours will be held on Wednesday, June 26, 2024, from 10:00 – 11:00 am at St. Paul Church (St. Gabriel Parish), 108 School St., Franklin, NH 03235.
