Following Harry’s death in 1974, Blanche met and married Tom Endrick in 1975.  Together they raised daughters Julie, Tina and Beth. Blanche and Tom shared 41 years together until his death in 2016.

Blanche was an amazing cook and baker, and loving and sassy mother and friend, she was also high level guarder of the chocolate chip cookie recipe.  She was known for putting on a spread such that no one ever went hungry after leaving her house.
