Barbara Blanchette Obituary
Barbara was the beloved daughter of Glenn W. Lehman and Mary Hester (Reno) Lehman. Throughout her life, she embodied gentleness and kindness, touching the lives of those around her with quiet strength and unwavering compassion.
She is survived by her children: Tony Baumgardner; Greg Baumgardner (Cindy); Michelle (Baumgardner) Foster (Pete); Mark Baumgardner (Barbie); Scott Blanchette; five grandchildren, and her cousins Charles Buchanan and Jane (Buchanan) Wells that she held close bonds with.
Barbara was preceded in death by her parents, her late husband Robert Blanchette, and her grandson Mark Baumgardner.
Her deep commitment to faith guided her throughout life's journey. She found beauty and meaning in the natural world-especially in butterflies. The Monarch butterfly held special significance for Barbara, symbolizing transformation, hope, and spiritual connection.
Those who knew Barbara will remember her as a kind soul whose presence brought comfort and peace. Her memory will live on in the hearts of all who loved her.
