Lived to meet all four grandchildren, and lived to meet six out of eight great-grandchildren.
She had gotten a lazy eye in about 1930 or 1932 when she and her family went to a family church picnic and were playing games. I don't know the name of the game. It was a race of sorts where each person was using a long stick to roll a hoop toward a finish line. Somehow, someone's stick poked into her eye and they were not able to save the eye. I believe at some point the eye was removed. Unfortunately for Blanche, that was before the technology of artificial eyes.
She died in 1988 in her 90th year. She was cremated and her ashes were brought up to Cincinnati to be buried by her husband.
