Blanche Ryan a native of Robert, Louisiana passed away from Congestive Heart Failure on Friday, July 10th, 2020, at her home in Robert, La., at the age of 90.
Blanche was born on Saturday, March 29, 1930 in Hammond, Louisiana to the late, Mary Virginia "Aunt Dod" Robertson-Traylor and Robert E. "Rob" Traylor.
Blanche was a Nurse Aide for several years at North Oaks Hospital in Hammond, formerly called, Seventh Ward General Hospital.
Then she continues over Twenty plus years her career as a Meat Clerk at a local Meat Industry in Ponchatoula.
Blanche's passion was working outside in her yard, especially with her Roses of many Colors. Very fond of the "Yellow Rose", which wouldn't surprise anyone (if you knew her) that the "Yellow Rose" was her favorite.
Because you see, the "Yellow Rose" means...JOY, WISDOM, AND POWER. And she had all three. She was always bringing and giving much "JOY" as she could, had much joy within her soul, she was Smart, Witty, and VERY "WISE," and she had the "POWER," (and ability) to strive in life no matter of any obstacles or situations that she had come across or overcome. SHE WAS A STRONG WOMAN, AND SHE WAS A VERY SPECIAL PERSON. Just like the "YELLOW ROSE".
