Before turning 18, she was employed by Mr. and Mrs. Johnny Wilson as a housekeeper and babysitter for 50 years. Aline love for family and faith in God has impacted so many of us. She taught us that love has no boundaries. It gives us the ability to pray for each other and seek God face in everything we encounter together as a family and individually. Prayer and how to pray is her legacy to us. Trusting in God is the blessing she instill in us. Her life was a reminder of God promises: He is always Good (I will not Fear), He is always in control (I will not Doubt), He is always Good (I will not Despair), He is always Watching (I will not Falter) and He is always Victorious (I will not Fail). Aline was the red hair baby girl of Theo Bourque and Agnes Brown. Her known siblings are Mary J. Bourque Carson, Mary Elvina Bourque, Joseph Bourque, Sr., Samuel Chavis, Berchman “Batmous” Bourque and Thurman Handy.
