I have decided to have no funeral (family only). I will be cremated, and ashes will be buried at Sunset Memorial Gardens by my husband Wayne.
I’m 94 years old, tired, some health issues, and am ready to start my journey home to be with my parents, sister, two brothers, husband Wayne, and son Darrel.
I will leave my son Steve (Deb); grandchildren James Braasch, Mike (Tina) Braasch, Allison (Shaun) Harrison, Eric (Emily) Braasch; great-grandchildren Connor, Kendall, Mason, and Spencer Braasch; great-great-grandchildren Rhett and Tripp Harrison; nephew James Krubeck; cousin Elaine Lewis, extended family and my special friends Bob and Sylvia Peterson.
God bless my family and friends; I’ve now finished my journey home.

She was very dear to our family.
😢❤️🙏🏻
We were saddened to learn of Blanches passing. During the 60’s as Darrel and I did our best to give Blanche gray hair, she was my second Mom. Blanche’s and Wayne’s home was always open to me. Their friendly and loving advice and sometimes caution was always taken to heart. She will be remembered and missed.

Steve, Deb & Families, We are so sorry for your loss. Blanche meant so much to us – more then you will ever know. We had many good times. She was our second Mom. We will miss her so much. All our thoughts and prayers are with you through this difficult time. Bob & Sylvia
To the family of Blanche: Blanche will always hold a special spot in my heart. Her nursing career and our many visits together touched my heart. I do wish I had kept in touch with her these past years since not serving at the church anymore. God’s blessings surround you with comfort and love. Brenda Bauer
God’s blessing on her family here as they lay her to rest.
So much I could say about Blanche. She was honest, loyal, caring, feisty yet loving .
I looked up to her and valued her tenacity.
She did so much for me, more than she knew.
My neighbor, my friend, I will miss you but you will always be in my heart.
Till we meet again!!

Blanche was one of the greats. I feel so lucky to love and to be loved by her. Thinking of you always.
I am happy you are finally where you are Blanche, Home.
Blanche was our neighbor in Davenport, ND. and her and Wayne were good friends of our family. They and my parents had many, many laughs together and fun trips fishing. Blanche was full of fun but always said what was on her mind. Steve and Deb our sympathies to all of you.

My cousin Blanche was a treat! I would call her at Christmas & always had a fun conversation. She was always ready to give me advice & provide comfort. I remember when her & Wayne got married when I was only a child. Blanche was a true Krubeck & loved life, especially with Wayne. I will miss our Christmas calls but also know she is in a place where she wanted to be. Bye Blanche & see you when I am ready.
