Blanca worked at Casino Del Sol until she suffered a massive stroke that left her paralyzed in 2009. Even with this disability Blanca never gave up. She continued to have a positive outlook on life and kept in touch with everyone. I think each of us received that 2am phone call just see what you were doing. 

Blanca was friendly outgoing and always loved to have a good time, especially dancing. Her dancing days stopped for 10 years until Monday morning when heaven had a new pair of heels for her. She was a very giving person even when she didnt have much herself. She would take in people who were in need as most of her nieces and nephews can tell you at some point they may have all lived with Blanca for a spell. She was the safe house where they could run and take a breather from their parents. She definitely was the cool aunt.
