She was preceded in death by her first husband of 32 years Willis C. White; second husband of 14 years Joseph J. Bonar; children Carol Jean White, Carl Corwin White and baby Joseph White; 8 sisters and 3 brothers. Blanche was a family-oriented woman who loved her extended family as much as her biological family. Born the fifth of 13 children, Blanche knew the value of family ties and support, a tradition she carried over to adulthood as she helped her grandchildren through college. Retiring as office manager from H.J. Heinz Corporation after 22 years of service, Blanche embarked on traveling throughout the world. She visited the Worlds Fair in Japan and New York and journeyed the Orient and Europe extensively. Dancing was a passion with Blanche which she enjoyed three nights a week with her huband Joe, and looked forward to their Saturday night ritual of dinner and dancing the night away. At her request a private graveside service was held. Interment at San Fernando Mission Cemetery, Mission Hills, CA." !INTERMENT: She was buried at San Fernando Mission Cemetery, Mission Hills, CA |
