Aline was the heart and soul of the family. She ensured every birthday, holiday and special occasion was celebrated in high fashion. She was a true Southern Lady and dressed to the fullest if only to go to the store or nowhere at all, “just in case”. She loved tea parties, fancy place settings whatever the meal, large or small, and ensured everyone’s needs were met above her own. She seeked to serve and make others happy. She was always active in women’s ministries and a true prayer warrior. She spent many hours reading the bible and on her knees in prayer, for family, friends and any in need. She played the guitar and enjoyed old time gospel music. She had a beautiful singing voice and sang loud and proud. In her youth she sang as part of “Smokey Metcalf and the Sunshine Sisters” along with her sister Jeanette. She loved being outside and enjoying “all of God’s beauty”. Her roses, daylilies and flower beds along with her family, were her life’s pleasures. She was “Granny” to all who knew and loved her. The world has lost a true angel. She will be cherished and greatly missed by all. Funeral services will be held at 2PM on Wednesday, October 6, 2021 at Faith Chapel Funeral Home North with Pastor Gene Hudson officiating. Burial will follow in Pensacola Memorial Gardens Cemetery. The family will receive friends at 1PM prior to services. Pallbearers will be Ken Small, Abe Flowers, Wayne Flowers, Terry Baker, Darrell Johnson and John Bivens.
