Mrs. Blincoe was born Viola Mae Hubbarth on June 22, 1923 in New Baltimore, Michigan. She grew up in New Baltimore on the shore of Lake St. Clair. She received a nursing degree in September 1944 from St. Joseph’s School of Nursing in Mount Clemens, Michigan and then enlisted as an army nurse and served in the European theatres through the end of the Second World War.
