Cindy was the fifth child of 8 born to Lucien and Lillian (Dumont) Couture on August 30, 1957. Cindy was admired for her uplifting attitude, kindness and compassion, and will always be remembered for her smile. She was loved by all who knew her. Cindy graduated from Sanford High School and was employed by Sanford Institution for Savings from 1988 to 2004 starting as a Teller advancing to the Assistant VP of Human Resources as Benefits Coordinator. After leaving banking Cindy started a new adventure, creating Humble Acres Farm at her home. She began raising Nigerian Dwarf Goats which led her to become a breeder after much hard work and apprenticeship. She was proud of her lineage and her goats were blue ribbon champions. Many sought out her expertise and knowledge about animal care. Her favorite place was her enchanting garden with herbs and flowers. She mastered making goatmilk soaps and salves which were enjoyed by many. Cindy loved her husband, children and grandchildren beyond words. Her family and friends were her life, as well as her treasured dogs Gunner and Lola and cat Izzy. She had an outstanding sense of independence, "marching to the beat of her own drum." Cindy was preceded in death by her parents and a sister Barbara Ricard.
