Aline Maw Lord Obituary (1929 - 2020)

Our dear kind Heavenly Father peacefully took our angel "Aline" home for a long-awaited reunion with her eternal companion Gene. She was a wonderful wife, mom, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend. Aline, 91, passed away at her home surrounded by her loving family. She was born April 30, 1929 in Ogden, Utah to Abram and Monna Maw. Aline met her husband while he was stationed at Hill Air Force Base. They fell in love and were married January 13, 1949 in Plain City. They were sealed for time and all eternity 58 years later on January 13, 2009. They had 65 wonderful years together before Gene passed away. Aline was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and held many callings. One of her favorite calls was "extracting/indexing". She loved and learned so much and she often talked about the feelings she had while doing this great work. This experience helped her testimony grow. She was also a wonderful visiting teacher. She loved to visit with the sisters any time she could. Aline learned the value of hard work while she was young from her parents and this trait stayed with her throughout all her years. They taught her to work on the farm, hoeing beets, hauling hay and anything that needed to be done. They also taught her how to grow a garden. Aline loved to garden. She always made a comment that this is how her Dad taught her. She was an expert gardener and it was important to have an immaculate garden. She demonstrated her work ethic in her garden. She loved to give advice or tips on how she did things. It was just recently that she couldn't get outside to do her gardening, but rest assured she still gardened and gave advice from indoors. Her family always enjoyed the fruits of her garden. Aline worked at Ben Lomond Lanes for 27 years. She loved everyone and they called her "Ding". When she got on the microphone nothing ever came out right and she would laugh so she earned that name. It was all in love. She bowled on many leagues for many years. She also won the all events in the Utah Women's National Championship in 1966-67. She coached and loved teaching the younger kids how to bowl every Saturday morning including her own grandchildren. To this day these kids remember the time they spent with her at the bowling alley. Years later when they would meet in random places, they would come up to her and introduce themselves again. After chatting she would always remember them. Aline loved her Pinochle card playing days with her good friends. She enjoyed winning too. After playing cards they would eat and chat. She loved these ladies so very much and always looked forward each week for the day she could go play and chat. Aline leaves behind 13 grandchildren and 39 great grandchildren. She loved them all so very much and she loved their visits. Her door was always open for a visit from the neighbors, friends, or family. She always had cookies baked and a soda in the fridge. She always had Skittles and M&M's on hand for those young and old who needed a handful. She loved her Caramel M&M's and shared them too. Her family especially enjoyed her dressing she made for Thanksgiving and the big bowl of her famous homemade caramel for Christmas. Aline had so much Faith, Hope, and Charity and she lived her life as an example for each on of us to always remember to be kind and be forgiving. She was a special person to her friends and was a special Mom and Grandmother to her family. She also showed her gratitude to her parents by taking care of them. Aline is survived by her children Duff (Susan) Lord, Layton; Monette Panter, Plain City; Patti (Kent) Booker, Layton; and her daughter-in-law Beverly Lord, South Ogden. Aline was preceded in death by her parents Abe and Monna Maw; husband Gene Lord; her son Galen Lord and all of her siblings. The family would like to give thanks to Bristol Hospice and Annette for the care they offered these past few days. A special thanks to Dr. Christiansen, Dr. Tingey and Leah Hedstrom for the care and support they have given her over the years. Mom was Valiant in Life and Valiant in Death.
