She was predeceased by her husband, Roger, in 2009, her Parents; Lucien & Emeric Rivest, eight siblings; six brothers-in-law; and one sister-in-law.
She was born in Pickardville, AB the 9th of 13 children and grew up in Jarvie, AB. After leaving high school she worked as a dental assistant in Edmonton until she met and married, Roger Garneau. They were blessed to have had 52 years together.

My sincere condolences on the loss of your dear Mother, Grandmother, Great-Grandmother and sister. I knew Aline from Rosedale. We sat together for dinner for many years which were very happy times for me. She will be missed.
Denis Allarie says
Aline was my aunt and was always pleasant and full of life.
She showed a true sense of hospitality and friendship.
She seemed to be filled with “joie de vivre”. (exuberant enjoyment of life).
I am sure we will all miss her, and I was saddened to hear of her passing. I believe the Lord
met her at the pearly gates with a smile and open arms.
