Arline Lillian (Blanchard) Mackintosh, 84, of Worcester, died Saturday, March 8, 2008, in Autumn Village after a long illness.
Arline's husband of 49 years, Donald Fraser Mackintosh, died in 1998. She is survived by: daughter, Jill Kroiher and James Livingston of Spencer; daughter, Dale Mackintosh of Hyannis; two granddaughters: SSgt Lisa Kroiher-Prue and her husband SSgt Jeffrey Prue of Mountain Home, ID, and Emily Kroiher and her partner Jon Boria of Spencer; three great-grandchildren: Adam Kroiher-Prue and Katherine Ann and Samuel Jon Boria; four sisters: Evelyne White of Westerville, OH, Marcia Coutu of Easton, Thelma Moore of Elk Grove, CA, and Norma Harkness of Southampton, England; a brother, Walter Blanchard of Jensen Beach, FL; several nieces and nephews, and dear friend, Emerson Jones of Worcester. Sister Irma Braisted and brother David Blanchard predeceased her.
Arline was born in Leominster, Aug. 6, 1923, to Berton L. and Martha (Poulson) Blanchard. After graduating from Leominster High School, she contributed to the World War II effort at Fort Devens, where she won a prize for an idea for modifying a machine to increase production. Later, she served as an operator at New England Telephone Co. and retired from management at AT&T.
Family and friends will remember Arline's fashion sense, quick humor, and how she could have taught Martha Stewart a thing or two about cooking, sewing, knitting, painting and woodworking. She knew all the birds and flowers, and loved spending time at the family's Cape Cod house. Dolls and teddy bears she made are treasured by her children and others she loved.
Arline enjoyed the fellowship of the Telephone Pioneers and was an active long-time member of Fairlawn Methodist Church and later, Lake View Congregational Church.
Arline's family is grateful to the wonderful, caring staff of Autumn Village.
A memorial service will be held at 10 a.m. Wednesday, March 12, at Lake View Congregational Church, 115 Coburn Ave., Worcester. Burial will follow in Worcester County Memorial Park, Paxton. The family encourages contributions in Arline's memory to a charity of the donor's choice in lieu of flowers. Nordgren Memorial Chapel, 300 Lincoln St., Worcester is directing arrangements.
