Blanche had a very strong work ethic. Early in her year’s Blanche was a bartender at Mickey’s Club. She then went on to be a CNA as well as a daycare provider. She loved going into work and giving out genuine and pure love to her clients and children. It would make their day seeing Blanche come in with a smile.

Blanche like to watch Sci-fi, and she loved to eat at Famous Dave’s. Blanche also loved rapper “Starlitio” When she heard him, she would cut the rug. Blanche also loved her some Anita Baker and smoking her joints.
