Aline Marie Duke, 74, a former resident of Houma, peacefully passed away after 
a lengthy illness Friday, Aug. 23, 2013, with her family by her side in 
Rockford, Ill. 

She was preceded in death only six months ago by her loving husband of 40 
years, David Arthur Duke.

A memorial service for family and friends will be held in Houma at a later 
date, where she will be laid to rest with her husband, David, in their beloved 
hometown.

She was born and raised by her parents, Henry Joseph Bourg and Nolian Pellegrin 
Bourg, of Houma, and was the oldest of 10 children. She is survived by four 
brothers and five sisters, Eugene Bourg, Allen Bourg, Alvin Bourg, Steven 
Bourg, Catherine Bergeron, Mary Zeringue, Elizabeth Fox, Alice Bowser, and 
Brenda Fuchs. She leaves her four cherished children and their spouses, Joseph 
(Cindy) Wright, Zelina (Paul) Brewer, Robert (Yvette) Wright, and Keith 
(Debbie) Wright. She had eight grandchildren, four great-grandchildren, and 
many nieces and nephews.

Aline worked in retail sales in downtown Houma throughout her working career. 
While she could often be found working in her flower gardens, her true passions 
were fishing and her family, and after marrying David in 1973, they all spent 
many family outings on the water that she loved so much. Her loving heart and 
infectious smile would light up a room, and she will be sorely missed by all 
who knew her.

Condolence cards can be sent to: 1819 Sauber Ave., Rockford, IL 61103 and will 
be distributed to her family.

May she rest in peace knowing that all who knew her loved her dearly.
