Family, friends, and the Catholic faith were Blanche's greatest treasures. She will best be remembered as a kind, and wonderful person, who enjoyed cooking, dancing, golfing, and spending time with her family.
Blanche had a special place in her heart for all generations of her family. Many summer days were spent outside her Waban home by the pool, surrounded by her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, blissfully dancing and playing with them.
For 35 years, Blanche served as the Director of Food Services at the Newton Public Schools. Once retired, she lived a beautiful, active life filled with travel, adventures, shopping, and numerous rounds of golf.
Blanche will always be remembered as a generous person that would always have a warm cup of coffee and smile welcoming you at her door.
“May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and the rain fall soft upon your fields,
and until we meet again,
may God hold you in the hollow of his hand.”
Blanche is dearly loved and will be sadly missed, and her kindness, love and support will be with us forever.
