Blanche was born on March 1, 1926. She was raised on the family farm near Spink, S.D. She attended a dance where a young man, Gene, asked her to dance. They fell in love and danced the next 60-plus years together. Blanche served as the director of Jack & Jill Preschool for 20 years, loving every second with the children.

She was most proud of being a housewife, mom and grandma. She was a true example of love to her family and friends.

Those left to cherish her memory are her sons, Mike (Bonnie) of Maple Grove, Minn., and Curt (Tami) of Omaha; daughter-in-law, Carol of Mulino, Ore.; brothers, Joe (Helen) and Mal (Shirley); six grandchildren, Adam (Mei), Allison (Matt), Alaina (Ostin), Andrew, Taylor (Debbie), and Joseph (fiancee, Leslie); and great-grandchildren, Ava, Owen, Naveila, and Airo.

Blanche was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Gene; siblings, Jim (Betty) and Frannie (Carl); and her son, Brad.

Memorials may be made to Wesley United Methodist Church.
