She was a joyful great-grandmother to four great-grandchildren: Isaiah Melero, Selena Martinez, Gabriella Martinez, and Elora Pickett.

Blanca also leaves behind ten loving siblings, along with many nieces, nephews, and dear friends who will carry her memory in their hearts.

She also leaves behind her beloved dog, Coco, who was a loyal companion and brought her comfort and joy.
