She met Joe at a dance at Winnipeg Beach, returning home on the "moonlight" train, later marrying in 1941. Blanche and Joe moved many times finally settling in Windsor Park. Many happy times were spent at the lake and on Boulder Bay, especially Christmas Eve. Mom loved sports. She traveled with Joe to many old time hockey games in Canada and the USA. Blanche and Joe especially enjoyed following son Randy in hockey and baseball. Baseball became a passion. Helen and Blanche would be watching television and talking on the phone about the games. Blanche enjoyed her grandchildren and great-grandchildren; attending sporting events, concerts, teas, dance recitals and birthdays. Mom loved anything small and always said "Isn't that cute." Bob always made a point of finding the cutest little things for her. She appreciated Bob's help with the big stuff. She was predeceased by her husband Joe; son Randy; and dog Jessie. She is survived by daughter Bonnie (Bob); granddaughter Brenda (Wayne); grandson Timothy (Lori); granddaughter Shanley (Terry) of BC; great-grandchildren, Tyler, Ricky, Ashley, Dayton, Landon and Brianne.
