Blanche was a wonderful, loving and compassionate woman, always available for anyone in need. She was a great wife, mother, sister, aunt, grandmother, friend and artist. She had a love for life and travel and a contagious sense of humor.
She was an incredibly creative artist and won many awards for her paintings of animals and portraits on porcelain, always in her own style. Blanche was very generous and giving of her talent and frequently donated her work to support the arts. She taught art and china painting for over 20 years.
Blanche also supported a lot of organizations that save wildlife and other animals. She found pleasure shopping for treasures at flea markets, antique shows and shops, but her favorite was the weekly swap meet where she had many friends. She loved to show off and share her findings with her friends and family.
Travel was a high priority for her. She believed it to be the best way to learn about life and the world. She took many trips with friends and family to Europe and Australia, she always wanted to go to Africa but due to her illness she was not able to go.
Blanche was born to Milton Bigler Ingram and Mary Elaine Johnson on July 21, 1937 in Nephi, Utah. Her and her husband Rex celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary Oct. 2, 2005. Rex passed away that following June.
