https://www.centralchristian.edu/obituary-david-blankenship/
David Warren Blankenship, 84, went to his
heavenly home on Sunday, November 8, 2020.
He was born on September 17, 1936, in San Bernardino, CA to the late James Edward and
Frances Olive Blankenship, the third of their five children.
He graduated from Los Angeles Pacific
College in 1959 and went on to serve in the US Army as a Chaplain’s Assistant
from 1960-1962 in Korea, where he particularly enjoyed his volunteer work in an
orphanage outside of Seoul.
David married his “long-distance”
sweetheart, Cathryn Rose Burge, on June 29,
1963 (They wrote to each other for over three years, 1959-1962, before finally
meeting in person and ultimately becoming engaged). He pastored Free Methodist
Churches in Hanford, CA (1964-1971), San Francisco, CA (1971-1973), and
Stockton, CA (1973-1977), where his skills and experience as a carpenter and in
construction led to that final appointment during which he both pastored the
flock. Along with another church member, David general-contracted the
construction of both a new church building and a parsonage.
Following his pastoral service, David and
Cathi moved to McPherson, KS, where he served for ten years at Central College
(now Central Christian College of Kansas) as a member of the maintenance
department. Likewise, Cathi was a
dedicated volunteer at Central, serving in many different capacities. She also
volunteered at McPherson Free Methodist Church and in the community. Their
three children all are alumni of Central. Wesley (CC ’85) lives in Wilmore, KY
now. Bryan (CC ’87) serves as the CFO at
Asbury Seminary in Wilmore, KY, and will join the CCCK Foundation Board in
January. Joy (CC ’93), their daughter,
is in the Tech Department at Tabor College in Hillsboro, KS. All three children grew up in McPherson.
David was last employed at National
Cooperative Refinery Association (now CHS) from 1987-2000, before retiring
early after being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. Upon his retirement, he
and Cathi traveled and worked with McPherson Craftsmen for Christ from
2000-2005, building and renovating churches, campgrounds, and schools (including
Oakdale Christian Academy near Jackson, KY).
Finally, in late 2008, the couple moved to Wilmore, KY.
In addition to his parents, he was also
preceded in death by his sister Arlene.
In addition to his beloved Cathi, David
leaves wonderful memories with his two sons, Wesley N. Blankenship and Bryan P.
Blankenship (Carol), and one daughter, Christina Joy Mark (Shailesh);
four grandchildren, Caleb Blankenship (Chloie), Sarah Garrett (Ethan), Anna Blankenship, and Vineet
Mark; three great-grandchildren, Judah, Tavish, and Lyella Blankenship; and brothers
James, Arthur, and Clyde Blankenship.
Celebration of Life was on Thursday,
November 12, at the Wilmore Free Methodist Church, followed by a Graveside
Service with military honors at Camp Nelson National Cemetery. Serving as pallbearers
were Caleb Blankenship, Ethan Garrett,

Iris Owen Blankenship, age 85 [1935],
died Wednesday, November 11, 2020 at Margate Health and Rehab. She was born in
Ashe County to Harvey Glee and Darrie McNeill Owen.
She was the wife of the late Henry Blankenship and together
they had 4 children. She dedicated much
of her life to family and children.
Early on, she loved and cared for foster children in her home and
regularly volunteered through the school system to teach students with learning
disabilities to read. She prided herself
in helping others and teaching, whether it be her kids, nieces, nephews or
neighbor children. She also loved working in the admissions department at Saint
Agnes Hospital in Baltimore.
After returning to Ashe County in 1977,
she continued her service as a teacher's assistant, first at Nathan's Creek and
then at Mtn. View Elementary until her retirement. After retirement, Iris delighted in spending
more time with her family, and especially her grandchildren, many who stayed
with her after school and during summer break.
With love, in addition to academics, she taught them many life skills
including cooking, sewing, crocheting, and gardening.
Iris was an avid reader throughout her
life until her sight would no longer allow.
Second to the Bible, her favorite book was 'Gone with the Wind', which
she read many times and had sections memorized.
She recited poetry and composed what she called "silly rhymes and
limericks" though they were much cleverer than that. She also loved to travel and enjoyed many
road trips with family throughout the USA.
Iris demonstrated knowledge and
wisdom. She was a great support to her
family and lived life with fortitude, strength and courage, and inspired others
to live in the same way. Her loss will be deeply felt by those who loved her.
