So sorry to hear of Blanche's passing,
Bill and I have many pleasant memories of working with her at the Elgin Community Theatre. She was always so obliging and willing to help and loved a bit of fun. Rob, we send our heartfelt love and sympathy to you and your family. God bless,

I will never forget the warm smile, the twinkle in those bright blue eyes and the way she accepted my family as her own! She truly was another Gram to me and I will never forget the warmth, love and light she brought to everyone she knew! I will miss you Gram, with all my heart!

Some of my earliest memories on Turtle Lake reminisce of the lake and neighbors. The Troxels covers a multitude of people with Blanche forever at the helm of her crew. She will live on and the memories cherished! God Bless her soul!
