Aline M.
Aline M. Shaneck, 92, of Curtice, died Tuesday evening, February 2, 2016, at the Genoa Retirement Village. She was born July 6, 1923, in Otisco, Indiana, the daughter of Lindsay B. and Cleo M. (Smith) Shields). On January 4, 1946, in Toledo, Ohio, Aline married Maynard J. Shaneck and he preceded her in death April 15, 1992. After graduating from high school, Aline began her working career at the former Tiedtke's in Toledo and then during the war years, worked in the office at Standard Oil. She chose to raise her family and have a career, working outside the home before it was “accepted.” She retired after 25 years working as office manager at the former Stokely-Van Camp, Inc. in Curtice. Aline was a member of St. John Lutheran Church in Williston and the Genoa Senior Citizens. She loved to crochet afghans and go shopping and was a New York Yankees fan, but her pride and joy were her grandchildren.

(Lori) Shaneck of Catawba Island; 11 grandchildren; 12 great-grandchildren; sisters, Beverly Auler of Curtice and Darlene Schnabel of Walbridge, and brothers, Richard (Doris) Shields and Walter (Virginia) Shields, both of Curtice.

The family would like to thank Aline's special friend, Edna Sandrock and sister-in-law, Faye Olesczuk and also Dr. Odeh and the staff at Genoa Retirement Village.
She never failed to do her best,
Her heart was true and tender;
She toiled hard for those she loved,
And left them to remember.
A loving mother, kind and true,
Her equals on this earth are few:
A happy life, a peaceful end,
She died as she lived,
everybody's friend.
If we had this world to give, We would give it and more; To see our darling Mother,
Come smiling through the door. Those who have a mother, Should tend her with care;
For you never know her value
Till you see her vacant chair.
