    • BOLENDER, Blanche Norma (King) - Passed away peacefully, our Mother and Nana, at St. Andrew's Terrace, Cambridge on Monday, December 8, 2008. Devoted loving wife of the late Gordon Bolender (1988). Dearly loved mother of Shirley Vero (Geoff), Judy Hanlan and her friend Fraser Mackenzie, Lynn Markle (Harold) and six grandchildren, Jeff Gobbo, Todd Gobbo (Kelly), Gord Hanlan (Nancy), Elizabeth Gawel (Mark), Tracy Thirtle (Sean), Shannon Markle and great-nana to Miles and Meloney Hanlan, Paige and Jennifer Aubry, Julian Gobbo, Brittany and Brandon Gawel, Suria and Maddox Runstedler and Roman and Kaleb Thirtle. Also surviving are her four sisters, Jean Callfas, Lorraine White, Betty Fisher, Joan Rose and one brother, Wayne King. She was predeceased by her sister, Phyllis Reuter and brothers, Donald, Clare, Neil and Graham King. Mrs. Bolender was a member of Trillium United Church, the U.C.W., St. Paul's Meals On Wheels, as well as a member of Freeport Hospital Auxiliary, an avid bird watcher and Bridge player. She loved spending her summers at the cottage on Lake Kamaniskeg. But first and foremost was her love and devotion to her family. The family will receive friends at the Barthel Funeral Home , 566 Queenston Road, Cambridge, on Thursday, December 11, 2008, from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. The Funeral Service will be conducted on Friday, December 12, 2008, at 1 p.m. at Trillium United Church, 450 King St. E., Cambridge. Private family interment in Parklawn Cemetery, Cambridge. Tributes may be made online at www.mem.com. A very special thank you to all the staff at St. Andrew's Terrace who looked after our mom for the last four years. There is a special place in heaven for all of you. You were wonderful. As expressions of sympathy, donations to the Alzheimer Society of Cambridge would be appreciated by the family.
