I remember Ms Blanche from the time I was a little girl living in Mixontown and she lived on McCoy Blvd. What a legacy she left for the generations that follow her. My sympathy to her family.

I did not know her, but imagine what she saw and experienced in her amazing 114 years...she is once again with loved ones she hasn't seen in a long time, and watching over her earthly family from above. May your fondest memories of her give you comfort until you see her again. God bless you all. May you continue to make her light shine.
