We lost our beloved Aline, mother, wife and sibling very suddenly on May 3rd, 2019. Aline fell ill on April 1st. In her typically positive and selfless manner, she told her loved ones it was the worst April fools’ joke ever. Aline lived her life with kindness, humor, positivity, generosity and a passion for all that she undertook. Looking back at the way she lived, her family takes comfort in knowing that she lived the way she wanted. Aline was unapologetically herself and that was the best part of her.
It's so difficult to capture everything that Aline was. What will be remembered is that she never did anything half way. She was excited at the prospect of learning and conquering new things; her beautiful gardens at her Ottawa and Mattawa homes, her gift for photography, her love of cooking. She loved throwing a good party. She was unforgettable.
She excelled as a self-taught technical writer. She leaves behind a work family and a job she didn't see ending any time soon.
She will be missed by her loving husband Mauro, daughter Chanel (Mathieu), grandson Alec, siblings Hélène (André), Claude (Monique), Pauline (Peter). Aline will also be remembered by her numerous nieces, nephews, extended family, and dear friends. Aline was predeceased by her brother and great buddy Roger (Lauren) on March 23rd, 2019.
A private interment will be held at the Beechwood Cemetery, and a celebration of Aline's life will be held at a later date. Memorial donations in honor of Aline can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.

The moments shared with you were exceptional and will always be remembered. My aunt was the perfect example for me and was always very supportive through out my life. We will miss you especially during family gatherings!
All my condolences to Mauro, Channel, sisters, brothers, Neices and nephews.
Rest in peace. XXXX

THE LAST GOODBYE
As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let us down, probably will. You'll have your heart broken and you'll break others' hearts. You'll fight with your best friend or maybe even fall in love with them, and you'll cry because time is flying by. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, forgive freely, and love like you've never been hurt. Life comes with no guarantees, no time outs, no second chances. you just have to live life to the fullest, tell someone what they mean to you and tell someone off, speak out, dance in the pouring rain, hold someone's hand, comfort a friend, fall asleep watching the sun come up, stay up late, be a flirt, and smile until your face hurts. Don't be afraid to take chances or fall in love and most of all, live in the moment because every second you spend angry or upset is a second of happiness you can never get back. -
Miss you so much Aline ... Wish I could of been there just to tell you how much you meant to me & to comfort you . Your such a good person to EVERYONE without exceptions or judgement.. You never ever judged me .

I should have hugged you tighter and longer the last time I saw you .In my Heart you'll be missed & Loved ......
GOD BLESS YOUY XXX OOO
