Blanche worked many years in the dining hall at Northwest Nazarene College, but her primary occupation was in raising her two sons, Harold and Cecil A. Blanche enjoyed watching people, crocheting, and cooking magnificent family dinners. She was a dedicated Christian and a longtime member of the College Church of the Nazarene in Nampa.
