Blanche Violet Besserer was promoted to be with her Lord on Saturday, June 16, 2018 in her 86th year at Stirling Heights LTC Home. With family members close by, Blanche made her journey peacefully and at ease.
Blanche will be best remembered for her honest and keen observation of everything and everybody around her, but mostly for her love of all animals and creatures, both big and small. She was an avid animal lover and always studied cats, dogs, birds, and horses in her many books. Any animal’s well-being always took precedence over her own. Blanche is survived by her children Debbie (Bob), Jamie (Jessie), Esther, Lois, and Helen (Terry); her grandchildren Ilene, Terra, Cameron, Sara, Emily, Rebecca, Andrew, Eric, Kyle and Megan; and her eight great-grandchildren Sage, Haidyn, Makaylah, Antonio, Gina, and Weston. She was predeceased by her husband Roy Besserer, daughter Kathy Wilmer, parents Roy and Della Longthorne and of course, her childhood pony Dolly. Visitation will be held on Friday June 22, 2018 from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Salvation Army, 16 Shade Street, Cambridge. The Funeral Service will begin at 2:00 p.m. Private interment to follow at Parklawn Cemetery. A special thank-you to all the staff and caregivers at Stirling Heights LTC Home for making Blanche’s stay a memorable one for her and her family. In lieu of flowers, please send memorial donations to the Cambridge SPCA to help all the animals: cambridgehumanesociety.org.
