Aline lived her early married life in Batesville, and then followed her husband's career to North Carolina where the family lived for several years. In North Carolina, she was the Director of Financial Aid for the Duke University Medical School.

Also, she was a skilled bridge player and seldom lost at duplicate. In her later years, she enjoyed the company of her grandchildren, Amina, Alita and Ned.
Anyone who knew her recognized the sweetness of her spirit. People who deserve God's mercy more than her are few and far between. God rest your soul, Mom.

I didn't know Aline well, but I respect the beautiful life she led.
I also treasure several Christmas ornaments from her collection that she offered for sale at the Old Independence Regional Museum several years ago. I'll think of her when I bring them out this year. My thoughts and prayers to the family.
Thinking of you all.
