She was a caring and loving person, happy, friendly, honesty, ready to reach out to her friends and neighbors especially assisting them with their medical needs, fundraising for their financial needs, encouraging everyone to follow their dreams and grow as individuals and community, and to value their education. Blanca enjoyed traveling with family and friends, getting to know new places and people. She loved flowers, especially roses and sunflowers, and she loved the family dogs.
