ALINETTE WAS AN AMAZING DAUGHTER, SISTER, MOM, WIFE AND FRIEND. SHE LOVED EVERYONE. HER BIGGEST FEAR WAS DISAPPOINTING THOSE WHOM SHE LOVED AND NOT BEING ACCEPTED AS SHE TRULY WAS. HER BIGGEST DESIRE WAS TO BE LOVED AND ACCEPTED. SHE LOVED HER FAMILY UNCONDITIONALLY, EVEN WHEN THE FEELING WAS NOT MUTUAL. SHE WAS A DRIVEN, DETERMINED WOMAN WHO LIVED LIFE AS SHE CHOSE, WITHOUT REGRETS, REGARDLESS OF THE OPINON OF OTHERS.
ALINETTE LOVED COOKING, ALL TYPES OF MUSIC, SINGING, SHOPPING, INTERIOR DECORATING, RESTORING OLD FURNITURE, TRAVELING SHORT TRIPS, FLORAL ARRANGEMENTS, DECORATION FOR CHRISTMAS (HER FAVORITE HOLIDAY), HER FURBABIES AND DISCREETLY HELPING OTHERS. SHE LOVED HER FAMILY AND FRIENDS BUT MOST OF ALL, SHE LOVED HER WIFE, SON AND DAD WITH ALL HER HEART AND SOUL AND WAS A TRUE “DADDY’S GIRL”. HER FAVORITE COLOR WAS RED.
ALINETTE MET JENNIFER IN 2009 AND BECAME INSTANT FRIENDS. THEIR FRIENDSHIP EVENTUALLY BLOSSOMED INTO A LOVE TO LAST ALL TESTS OF TIME AND THEY WERE MARRIED IN JANUARY 2018. ALINETTE UNFORTUNATELY HAD A DECLINE IN HER HEALTH IN HER LAST YEARS AND BATTLED SEVERAL MEDICAL OBSTACLES DURING THAT TIME, WHICH EVENTUALLY LED TO HER PASSING.
ALINETTE’S WISH AT HER DEMISE WAS THAT IN LIEU OF GIVING FLOWERS TO HER FAMILY THAT A PLANT OR FLOWER BE PLANTED AND CARED FOR IN HER HONOR OR DONATIONS OF MONEY OR FOOD/SUPPLIES BE MADE TO THE ANIMAL SHELTER OF ONE’S CHOICE IN HER NAME. ANY MONETARY CONTRIBUTIONS MAY BE SENT TO HER CASHAPP $ALLEY34 AND WILL BE DONATED TO SHELTERS IN COLUMBUS, BRUNSWICK AND HORRY COUNTY.
ALINETTE WILL BE MISSED BEYOND MEASURE. JENNIFER AND THE FAMILY SINCERELY THANK THE STAFF OF PEACOCK FUNERAL HOME OF WHITEVILLE FOR THEIR CARING, COMPASSIONATE HANDLING OF THEIR BELOVED ALINETTE. THEY ALSO APPRECIATE ALL GESTURES OF SYMPATHY AND CONDOLENCES AT THEIR GREAT LOSS. A PRIVATE CELEBRATION OF LIFE WILL BE HELD BY HER FAMILY AND FRIENDS ON A FUTURE DATE.
