ALINE MOTYER (nee ROSS) On March 12, 2008 after celebrating her 92nd birthday with her family Aline gently passed away. Aline is survived by her husband of 62 years Jack; son John, wife Anita and grandsons, Ryan and James; daughter Sharon, husband Bill Riches and granddaughter Devon; niece Laurie MacCallum, husband Mike Furness, children, Isla and Duncan; numerous nieces and nephews. Born in Norwood and predeceased by parents, George and Mamie; brother Herrick; sister Bee and her husband Bill MacCallum. Aline spent all but five years in Norwood and St. Vital. She was thrilled when Jack retired from Air Canada and they moved back from Montreal. Aline was a long time member of Norwood United Church until their move and later actively volunteered at South Winnipeg YMCA and took part in the Retired Peoples Participaction Club at the Y. Aline was the consummate mom - loving her family above all else making a happy home -wonderful meals and great butter tarts. Aline's health declined late in 2007 and she spent two months at Health Sciences Centre before her recent move to Vista Park Lodge. Like Aline dealt with all things in life, she accepted her illness with grace and dignity, remaining true to herself and appreciative of all those around her. The family thanks everyone that touched Aline's life in her last few months. In lieu of flowers please make donations to Adoption Options who gave her one of her three most precious gifts or to a children's charity of your choice. A celebration of Aline's life will be held on Wednesday, March 19 at 1:00 p.m. in the Coutu Funeral Chapel, 680 Archibald St. The Coutu family in care of arrangements: E.J. COUTU CO. FUNERAL DIRECTORS 680 Archibald St. 253-5086
