Blanche Pramis Obituary
Pramis, 77
BUXTON -- Blanche Ruth Pramis, 77, of Fogg Road, passed away on April 20, 2011, at Mercy Hospital, surrounded by her family.
She was born in St. Paul, Minn., on Nov. 17, 1933, the daughter of the late Harry and Dorotha (Runyon) Sawyer, and graduated from Portland High School.

She will always be remembered as the 'Best Nana Ever.'
Besides being with family, she enjoyed Bingo, crocheting, puzzles, traveling, and was an avid Mickey Mouse fan and collector.
She was predeceased by her husband, Robert P. Pramis Sr.; her significant other, Elroy Mills; daughter, Donna Pramis; and brother, James Sawyer. Blanche is survived by her sons, Richard Pramis of Portland, Robert Pramis Jr. of New Gloucester, and David Archibald of Naples, daughters, Penni Lee of Gorham, Susan Sanborn of Standish, and Risa Dennison of Buxton; sisters, Marilyn Hodgdon of Portland and Carol Hall of Windham; 18 grandchildren; and 14 great- grandchildren.
Visitation will be on Saturday morning, April 23, from 10-11 a.m., followed by an 11 a.m. funeral service at the Dennett, Craig & Pate Funeral Home, located on the corners of Rts. 202 and 4A (13 Portland Rd.) in Buxton (Bar Mills).
