Claire Blankenship

Claire committed her life to loving and serving God, her husband, her family, and her countless friends. Her legacy is not just the number of children and grandchildren that she left behind, but the impact she had in teaching them to trust in the Lord with all their heart and acknowledge Him in all their ways. Claire is in heaven but her wisdom, spirit, and the memories she created live on in our hearts. She will be greatly missed. Claire, 84, a resident of Albuquerque, passed away on June 18, 2013. She is survived by Clarence Blankenship, her husband of 66 years; a brother; two sisters-in-law; six children and their families; including fifteen grandchildren and eight great- grandchildren.
