ALINE GISELE GODIN - BERKSHIRE - Aline Gisele Godin, 72, wife of F. Raymond Godin, passed away at her home on Friday morning, Aug. 17, 2012, with her devoted husband at her side. 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. In her later years, she helped Raymond care for the All Saints Cemetery. Aline was a person of deep faith. She was a member of Our Lady of the Lourdes Catholic Church in East Berkshire, where she was the former treasurer of the Ladies of St. Ann Society.
