NOVI, Mich. - Aline Gabriel Michelin, 95, formerly of Cheboygan, Mich., died peacefully Sunday July 13, 2008 in Novi Mich., where she had been a resident for several years.
Mrs. Michelin was born Nov. 9, 1912, in Alverno, the daughter of Nazaire and Hermine (DeQuoy) Couture.
Aline graduated from County Normal in Cheboygan and went to Eastern Michigan for an advanced teaching degree. She taught school in Black River in a one-room schoolhouse. It was in her kind nature to pick up many of her students on the way to school.
Aline and her husband ran the popular restaurants The Hut and Maison de Pierre in downtown Cheboygan for many years. Aline enjoyed greeting the many patrons and acting as hostess once her children left home.
Aline loved to bake bread, golf, work in her flower garden, play cribbage and sit in the sun. While she lived in Cheboygan, many of her children and grandchildren were frequent visitors. When she had company, Aline was sure that no one left hungry. One of her staples was six homemade loaves of bread. She made this treat weekly and generously gave all the bread away, often keeping none for herself.
She is survived by her daughters Mary (Michael) Zelenock of Novi and Louise (David) Smolarek of Ortonville, Mich.; sons Paul (Lois) of Newberry, Mich., Robert (Doris) of Nevada City, Calif., Peter (Linda) of Colorado Springs, Colo., and Joseph (Janet) Michelin of St. Charles, Ill.; her sister Evelyn Brown; 17 grandchildren; and 15 great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her loving husband Arthur Michelin in 1980; her sisters Marietta Yankoviak and Colombe Sasser; brothers Charles Couture and Armand Couture. Her parents also preceded her in death as well as her stepmother, Marie (Viau) Couture.
A Mass of Christian burial will be celebrated at 11 a.m. on Thursday, July 17, 2008, at St. Mary/St. Charles Catholic Church in Cheboygan. Friends may call from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Wednesday, July 16, 2008, at the Christian Funeral Home in Cheboygan. Rosary will be said at 7 p.m. Wednesday. For those wishing, donations can be made in honor of Aline to the Bishop Baraga Schools in Cheboygan. Art and Aline would appreciate the gesture.
