Blanche was a devoted Wife, Grandmother, and Great Grandmother!
She was an amazing dancer and taught dance in her home studio for many years. She also loved to sing, play her keyboard and in her spare time wrote short stories and enjoyed crossword puzzles.
She is preceded in death by her loving husband, J. Gordon Carlson and daughter Shelley Manley.
She is survived by her son Blake and daughter Stacy. She has nine loving grandchildren: Theron, Jim, Peter, Andy, Kylie, Lucas, Christian, Aja and Savannah, and eleven beautiful great grandchildren.
Whenever family gathers to laugh, talk, eat…wherever babies are held, stories are told, and hugs are shared…our mother’s spirit lives on!
