MacDonald MacDonald, Blanca Rubio Our beloved wife, mother, sister and best friend, passed away on May 5, 2011, in an automobile accident en route to her home in Davie, Fl. Blanca, the youngest daughter of Blanca E. Aranda and Rolando D. Rubio, was born in San Francisco, Ca., on May 26, 1981. Early in her life she moved with her family to South Florida. She began her academic journey at Flamingo Elementary School, then continued to Hialeah Middle. She attended Hialeah and Flanagan High Schools, before graduating with the Cooper City High School class of 1999. Blanca received her Associate of Arts degree with high honors from Broward College, and was attending Florida Atlantic University in pursuit of a Bachelors degree in Business Administration.

(Sunrise and Coconut Grove); Operations Manager for Shutter and Screen Supply Inc., CK Home Products Inc., and more recently at Banyan Finance Inc. The only thing greater than her passion for success and education was her love for family and friends. Blanca is survived by her husband Thomas, and her daughter Hailey Jane, the light of her life.
