Anne Blanchard

When she was younger, Anne loved swimming competitively. She was one that when summer came around, she could always be found in a swimsuit! As she grew older, she was always found with a book in her hand or biking as often as she could. She was often lovingly referred to as the "Cruise Director", always planning fun trips and events for herself, friends, and family to enjoy. For the last few years, Anne and Bruce regularly attended Deer Lake Back Court Restaurant for dinner and dancing, one of their favorite things to do together!

Anne is survived by her husband, Bruce Blanchard; children: Steven Blanchard and Kristin (Donald Roach) Blanchard; grandchildren: Lauren and Andrew Blanchard; sisters: Patricia (Mark Eichenlaub) McMahon-Eichenlaub, Kathy McMahon-Dean, Peggy (John) Coyle, and Sheila (Peter) Gormley; brother-in-law, Roger Blanchard; daughter-in-law, Tanya Blanchard; and several nieces and nephews. Anne is preceded in death by her parents and brother-in-law, Hubert Dean.
