https://www.greenhillsfuneralhome.net/obituary/Michael-Blankenship
Michael Wayne Blankenship made his
entrance into Heaven Thursday, February 6, 2020 at home surrounded by his loved
ones. He was born August 20, 1957 to Billie Jewel Kirkland Blankenship and the late James Fred Blankenship.
He is survived by Patty Hartzog
Blankenship his wife of 43 years. Two sons and daughters, Eric and Marion Blankenship and Matt and Mindy
Blankenship. Five precious grandchildren that lit up his life: Cole, Paige, Mattox,
Micah, and Maxston. A Sister and brother in law Elaine and Martin Maund;
Brothers Tim Blankenship and the late Debbie Blankenship, Keven and Genia
Blankenship, and the late David Blankenship; sister and brother in laws
Shari and Ricky Pugh and Tommy and Beverly Hartzog and several special nieces
and nephews.
Mike enjoyed the great outdoors. He was an avid coon hunter that had many good
stories he could tell about nights and mornings in the woods. His deer hunting stories and the many times
he would take others and watch them get their first deer thrilled him. He was a hunter at heart. He loved the lake where he spent quality time
with the grandchildren boating and fishing.
He instilled the love of the outdoors in his sons and grandchildren. In his later years he started woodworking and
furniture making as a hobby in his spare time.
He made many beautiful treasured pieces to share with family and
friends. Mike was a quiet gentleman that
was often found listening to others because he would say that is how you
learn. He is leaving a legacy for
children and grandchildren of a love for The Lord. Mike enjoyed helping teach children at church
and would often be seen with several kids surrounding him as he held them and
helped them learn about Jesus. Mike had
a work ethic that he passed on to his children.
He worked for Van Heusen in Clio starting at 14 with a workers permit
until 1976. Then he started at Fruit of
the Loom factory until he worked at Russell for a short time before starting at
Slawson Manufacturing in Louisville.
This was the first time in over 20 plus years he had a job on the
outside and he enjoyed the outside. Mike
started at Pea River Electric Cooperative in 1999 as a meter reader. He enjoyed it so much that he did the same
job for 20 years. Acquaintances became
friends. Coworkers and customers on his route became like family. He always said he felt blessed to work for
such a great cooperative.
Funeral services will be held at 2:00 pm,
on Saturday, February 8, 2020, at the Calvary Assembly of God Church in Clio
with Reverend Randy Adams officiating.
Burial will follow in the Calvary Assembly of God Church Cemetery. Green

Judy Ann (Hall) Blankenship, 71 [06Jun1948], born in Indianapolis to William V
(Billy) and Margaret Elizabeth (Betty) Hall, passed
peacefully on Sunday February 16, 2020.
Judy lived in Carmel most of her life and
moved to Fishers in 2001. As a girl, Judy enjoyed records, movies, and
traveling with family and friends. In her teens, she began working as a
babysitter and nanny. The day after graduating from Carmel High School (’66)
with a business certificate, Judy began a secretarial job with Prudential
Insurance. Professionally, Judy held executive secretarial positions, taught in
preschools, owned her own in-home daycare for two decades, and enjoyed her work
in retail collectable shops. Judy’s work ethic and attitude were often rewarded
with managerial positions.
While out with friends on evening, Judy
took a chance on a straight-talking gentleman named Mike Blankenship. The two hit it
off and were married in her aunt’s garden, August 1, 1976. The newlyweds became
foster parents in hopes of adopting children and starting a family of their
own. First came Pamela Sue, Then Stephen Gabriel, Lastly, Alisha Noel. Judy and Mike knew that their family was complete with the addition of
this final little one.
After full days of caring for other
families most precious blessings, Judy turned her attentions to supporting the
needs of each of her children in their many adventures. Traveling to and from
tutoring sessions, dance classes, music lessons, and Tae Kwando was just the
tip of the iceberg. Giving of her time and talents was a rewarding way to help.
Judy sewed costumes and props, did hair and makeup for recitals, and worked
countless fundraisers. This was all in preparation for the shows and
competitions that she attended to cheer on her children. She was the
proofreader and homework checker. She was filled with ideas for school projects
and how to make them bigger and better.
In these later years, Judy continued to
server her family and her community. She was an active member in her church.
Finding great joy in helping with membership classes, bake sales, and
Thanksgiving and Christmas ministries. The only job she enjoyed more than being
a mother was being a grandmother. Coloring and crafting, reading books, playing
games, and of course flashcards with her growing grandchildren was the
highlight of these new days. Judy also took great pride in caring for her
husband during his two battles with cancer. She was the note keeper, scheduler,
and researcher. Always striving to give him a chance to beat the cancer and
feel as well as possible.
Judy was preceded in death by her
parents, Billy and Betty Hall, husband of 42 years, Mike Blankenship, and brother,
Larry Hall.
Judy’s love will live on through: daughters,
Pamela
(Blankenship) Miller (Tim) and Alisha Blankenship (Thomas Witman); son, Stephen
Blankenship (Sara); grandchildren, Sabrina Blankenship, Savannah
Blankenship, and Luke Miller; brothers-in-law, John Blankenship and David Blankenship (Kristen),
nephews, Camron Blankenship, Dustin Blankenship, Sam Blankenship, Zach Blankenship, and Kyle Hall
(Ashlea Bedell); niece, Katie (Hall) Reiter (Dane); sister-in-law, Deb
