She loved family, bingo, reading and crocheting, but above all, she enjoyed cooking and baking for her boys. If she knew they were coming to visit, there was always a fresh pie, cake or a batch of cookies in the oven, but first a full hearty meal.  This is what she enjoyed most. Known as Mom to her boys, she was “Grandma” to everyone; and you were company in her home only once. She will be truly missed on everyone’s trip “up north.”

Visitation will be at the Chagnon Funeral Home today (Thursday, October 13) from 2 – 6 p.m. with cremation to follow. Blanche’s final resting place will be at Ocqueoc Township Cemetery. Those planning an expression of sympathy please consider a donation in memory of Blanche to the Disabled American Veterans.
