Blanche M. Latvala, age 87, passed away peacefully at Christian Park Village Tuesday afternoon, December 22, 2020.

Blanche’s pride and joy were her grandchildren. She loved when they visited and even spent the night with her. Blanche loved to cook for big gatherings or just even for her family when they visited.

With sincere sympathy in the loss of your mother & grandmother.
Although, I didn’t know your mom that well. I have fond memories of my mom, Betty Nelson talking about her all the time. They worked together at the Veneer plant in Gladstone. She talked very highly of her daughter Pattie. Enjoy all your special memories & hold them close to your heart.♥️
