Annie Lou Blanton, 84, of Euless, TX peacefully passed away on Sunday, July 8th, 2018 at her home. She will be remembered as a loving, wife, mother, grandmother and aunt, and sweet friend to all that knew and loved her.
She was born in Detroit, TX on October 13, 1933 to Cleburne and Annie Irene Hinsley and was the oldest of eleven children. Annie married the love of her life, James Roy Blanton in 1950, who preceded her in death in 1986. Soon after, Annie went to work at Bedford Christian Academy and retired after 25 years of taking loving care of the babies as though they were her own.
