It is with great sorrow that the family announces the passing of Aline LaCoste (nee Picard) on November 6, 2026 at the age of 83. Aline lost her devoted husband Donald LaCoste 14 years ago, and leaves behind her loving children, Marc LaCoste (Jennifer) and Jennifer Murray (Jason), and her treasured grandchildren, Garret, Meghan, Addison, and Reese. She was a devoted grandmother who loved nothing more than visiting with her family down south.
First born daughter of the late Arthur and Florida (Gauthier) Picard, Aline is survived by her brothers Raymond (Karen), Andre (predeceased by Beverly), and Fern (Debbie). She was predeceased by her brother Maurice and very recently her sister Claire Robineau (Rene).
Aline was a caregiver. She lovingly and patiently cared for her parents, her husband, her children, her brothers and sister, and her friends. She was a steady presence and a great listener. Aline was an avid card player and an excellent cook. She had a passion for reading. Her cats Shadow and Moxie were devoted companions over the years. Aline’s calm, gentle kindness touched all those who knew her.
Aline will be greatly missed by her dear nieces and nephews, extended family members and dear friends. She was so grateful for the company and support of her long time friends Monique, Georgette, Micheline, Yolande and Denise. Special thanks to Dennis Cropper for his support of Aline, especially during the last months.
The family would like to express their gratitude for the wonderful care provided by the medical team at Northeast Cancer Centre throughout her illness and the exceptional support and compassion provided by Maison McCulloch Hospice.
A celebration of Aline’s life will be held at a later date.
