She was born Oct. 18, 1939, in Cowansville, Quebec, Canada, the only child of the late Henri and Annette (Forcier) Jacques. Aline came to Richford from Canada in 1945, and started her education at Richford Elementary School without being able to speak English. She later graduated from Richford High School in 1958. While in high school she worked for Brouillette's Dept. Store, and then after high school worked as a bookkeeper at Dussault's Cash Market and as a teller at Franklin County Bank in Richford. She devoted her life to raising her family and helping Raymond on the farm with the animals and the field work. She enjoyed gardening, crocheting, cooking, and spending time with her children and grand- children. She especially loved to make Christmas boxes for her family and friends, which had their favorite goodies in them. She also spent many hours tracing her ancestors and working on the family genealogy.
