Marilyn June Blanscet

Marilyn June Blanscet of Newbury Park, California, passed away on October 1, 2026. Born in Louisiana on July 28, 1942, Marilyn grew up in Missouri but eventually called California home. After graduating from Oxnard High School, she went to work for the U.S. Navy at Point Mugu, where she met her future husband, Stephen Paul (Paul) Blanscet.

After retiring from the federal government, Marilyn and Paul moved to Oklahoma, her husband’s birthplace. Marilyn was very active in her community and church, First Baptist Church of Elmore City. She was also an accomplished sewer, quilter, and doll-maker, who was known for giving handmade gifts to her friends and family.

Marilyn was preceded in death by her husband, Paul; her son, Stephen; and her brother, Douglas. She is survived by her daughters, Karen and Paulette, and her five grandchildren, Avery, Diego, Elias, Elodie, and Graciela.

The family would like to thank the staff at Happy Home Care, especially Karina, Arly, and John, for the care and compassion they showed Marilyn in her final days.

Marilyn’s ashes will be interred next to her husband in Elmore City Cemetery. Family and friends who wish to attend may contact the family for the date and time.

In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation in Marilyn’s honor to one of her favorite charities, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital or the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA).
