Mary Louise Blanton

Mary Louise Blanton, aged 77, of Belle Center, Ohio, departed from this world on July 21, 2023. She was born on August 15, 1945, in Springfield, Ohio, to Marjorie, Miranda and Joseph Westlake.

Mary was a cherished member of the community, and her passing has left a profound void in the hearts of her loved ones. She was preceded in death by her loving husband, Dexter Blanton, who she married on December 26, 1961. She is survived by her children, Jim (Sherry) Blanton and Deidre (Rod) Lambert.

Mary was a woman of deep faith, finding solace and strength as one of Jehovah's Witnesses. Her devotion to her religious beliefs was a cornerstone of her life and provided her with guidance and comfort throughout her journey.

A traditional, private service to honor Mary's memory will be held at a later date. The details of this solemn occasion will be shared with her cherished family, allowing them to gather together and pay their respects.

In honor of Mary's memory and in lieu of floral tributes, the family kindly requests that contributions be made to The American Cancer Society. This organization held a special place in Mary's heart, and any donations made will support their vital work in combating cancer and providing assistance to those affected by this devastating disease.

Mary Louise Blanton will forever be remembered for her gentle spirit, unwavering faith, and the love she bestowed upon all who had the privilege of knowing her. May her soul find eternal peace.
