Doc was born on March 1, 1944 to Glen and Melva Rainwater in Delhi, Louisiana. Doc showed her musical talent early and joined the Midland Lee High School Marching Band as a drummer. She moved on with a scholarship to the University of Texas Marching Band. On April 1, 1967 she married Billy Blalock and they shared the next 40 years as ranchers while also raising a family. Doc was a devoted Christian, a loving wife, caring mother, and overindulgent Nana, supporting her family at every turn. She shared her talent in many ways including playing in local bands and doing charity work. Doc was overjoyed by the opportunity to pass on her natural talent to her grandson Wesley. She is survived by her daughter, Susan; son-in-law, Mike; son, Charles and his wife Tiffany; and four wonderful grandchildren, Shayla, Wesley, Brandon, and James. She is also survived by her sister-in-law, Maritha; nephews, Bradford and David, his wife, Paula, and their daughter, Isabella. She is preceded in death by her husband, Billy; her brother-in-law, Bobby; and by her parents. The family would like to thank her friends too numerous to count. We would also like to thank Dr. Miller, Dr. Viney, Cheryl Vallie, and wonderful nurses that showed her great care and compassion for many years. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Arrangements are under the direction of Nalley-Pickle & Welch Funeral Home & Crematory of Midland.
