Aline L Richard
August 28, 1929 — May 27, 2015
Aline L. (Royer) Richard, 85, of Gardner, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her family on Wednesday, May 27, 2015, after a long and courageous battle with diabetes.
Born in St. Jacques, Canada on August 28, 1929, she was the daughter of Alex and Diane Royer. Aline moved to Gardner as a child and lived here most of her life. She married the late Raymond G. Richard in 1951. After raising a family, Aline returned to school and, after graduation, worked for more than 20 years as a Nurse's Aide at the Henry Heywood Memorial Hospital in Gardner, primarily on the Pediatric Ward.
Aline enjoyed crocheting, gardening, hosting family parties, shopping with her daughter Yvette and doting on her 18 great-grandchildren. She especially loved spending time on Cape Cod and took advantage of every opportunity to sit on her swing.
She was predeceased by her husband of 38 years, Raymond Richard, who died July 14, 1989; her son, Patrick Richard; two brothers, Damien and Harold; and five sisters, Bernice, Jeanne, Monique, Grace, and Leatrice.
Aline is survived by three sons, Robert Richard, Alex Richard, Raymond G. Richard, Jr. and his fiancée Diane; three daughters, Celeste Valliere-Pullen and her husband Richard, Theresa Chagnon and her husband Michael and Yvette Richard. She also leaves behind her 11 loving grandchildren Matthew Valliere, Danielle Valliere, Melissa Sullivan, Jennifer Shiminsky, Elizabeth Kelsey, Michelle Raymond, Michael Chagnon, Shawn Zoldac, Mark Richard, Patrick Richard Jr., Brenda Jiminez, and the 18 great-grandchildren that brought so much joy to her life - Andrew, Kaylee, Christopher, Cassie, Jeremy, Emily, Joelexhia, Angelina, Alina, Elle, Nathan, Abby, Bridgette, Emma and Owen, Mathew, Michael and Mark
