Obituary for Blanche Vincent

January 24, 1943-October 10, 2025

Blanche Hilda Voegtli Vincent, 82, passed away peacefully on October 10, 2025 after a long illness. Blanche was born on January 24, 1943 to the late Richard Voegtli and Marie Heser Voegtli of Cow Hill Road, Clinton, CT. Blanche graduated from New London Academy of Hairdressing and worked for her Aunt Claire Germini for many years. She was a stylist in-demand on the shoreline as she managed The Beauty Spot in Old Saybrook. Blanche was very family oriented and adopted the whole town by baking pies, cakes, and cookies for the various fundraising efforts of Families Helping Families of Clinton, Connecticut, founded by her husband, Miner T. Vincent. She was a faithful Christian, and she loved singing the traditional hymns. The Lord gave Blanche a servant's heart which she used to encourage others wherever and whenever she could. She loved to exercise and power walk at Hammonasset Beach State Park, where she also taught her granddaughters how to drive. Now she is walking on streets of gold with her Savior. In addition to her devoted husband, Miner Vincent of Clinton, CT, she is survived by her daughter Debbie (Matthew) Recker and their children Rachel, Brian, and Daniel. Blanche is now rejoicing in heaven with her son, Fire Chief Scott Andrews. She leaves behind Scott's widow Donna Andrews and her daughter, Brianna Bushee. Blanche is survived by her granddaughters, Kelly Andrews, Kristen (Brad) Grossman, and six great grandchildren. She is predeceased by her grandson, Jason Casula. Services will be private and held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to Families Helping Families, PO Box 166, Clinton, CT 06413.
