https://www.qohcfh.org/obituaries/Ruth-Shirlee--Blankenship-?obId=21297952
Ruth Shirley Blankenship, beloved mother to Becky, adored grandmother of the lights of her
life Alexa and Zachary, and dear cousin and friend to
many, peacefully passed from this life into the waiting arms of the Lord on
Tuesday, May 25, 2021. Known as both Shirley or Shirlee, she was born on March 18, 1935 in Cleveland, Ohio,
to Charles and Anna (Rygwalski) Cwiklinski
(also known as Collins).
She was raised in the suburb of Garfield Heights, where she
attended school and made several lifelong friends whom she remained in contact
with until her death. She enjoyed polka dancing and loved to figure skate,
spending the summers in her late teens and early 20s training at a rink in
Canada. After graduating high school, she worked in office roles, including at
Ferro Corporation.
In 1971, she decided to move to the sunnier climate of Phoenix,
Arizona, and her parents made the move with her. She met and married William Neal Blankenship and continued her career at Allstate Insurance until her daughter
was born. After divorcing, she resumed working outside the home, making many
new friends at Farmers Insurance until she retired at age 72. Shirley loved
Hawaii and made a dream trip to visit Oahu with Becky in 2004. She loved
growing rose bushes in her yard, playing the organ, and spoiling her dogs.
When her grandchildren were born, she spent countless hours holding
and snuggling them, reading to them and helping them read to her, practicing
flash cards and playing card games with them. They were her pride and joy, and
she loved them more than words can express.
She is survived by her daughter,
Becky Ramsdell, her
former son-in-law, Eric Ramsdell, her grandchildren,
Alexa Ramsdell and Zachary Ramsdell,
several cousins and many dear friends.

James Leonard Blankenship, age 74, of Wellston, went to be with the love of his life on
Saturday, May 22, 2021. He was born
October 25, 1946 in Jackson County, Ohio to the late James Curtis Blankenship and Gladys Mae Felty Blankenship.
Jim was a 1965 graduate of Wellston High School and a certified
electrician. Following graduation, he served in the Army during the Vietnam War
from 1966 to 1968. Jim was a coal miner to his core, with over 40 years of
experience. Over 30 of those years were spent at Racoon
Creek Mine where he was a mechanic, electrician, and a true Jack of all
trades. Jim loved the outdoors and going
fishing with his wife, family, and friends every chance he got. He loved being
a handyman and he never ran into a problem he could not fix. One of his
favorite sayings was, “If I can take it apart, I can put it back together”. Jim
also never met a stranger, but if he did, they were not one for long. He loved
to talk, laugh and be ornery, although loving his family was his favorite thing
to do, along with spending time together and making memories.
Besides his parents, Jim was preceded in death by his loving wife of 53 years, Donise Womeldorf Blankenship in
2020; brother, Daniel Curtis Blankenship; sister,
Deborah Hatten; niece, Eryn Gay Thompson; and
nephew, Randall Henry.

Rafferty, Justin Rafferty, Levi Rafferty, Kelsey Conley, and Caleb Nichols;
great-grandchild, Jansen “Punkin” Rafferty; sisters, Charlotte Mahle, Cheri Thompson and Angela Henry; along with several nieces, nephews and close friends.
Funeral service will be at 5 pm, Friday, May 28, 2021, at the
McWilliams Funeral Home in Wellston with Pastor Rob Ervin officiating. In
keeping with Jim's wishes, cremation will follow the service and a private
burial, with military honors, will be at the convenience of the family in Salem
Cemetery.

https://www.kleinfh.com/obituary/douglas-blankenship
Douglas “Scott” Blankenship, loving husband and father, loyal friend, avid hunter, and amateur
comedian, passed away unexpectedly at the age of 58 on Memorial Day, May 31,
2021 in Spring, Texas. Scott was born on September 24,
1962, to Claudette and Bobby
Jack Blankenship in Wichita
Falls, Texas.
Scott was a loving brother to his older sister, Deborah Garcia, though she would probably say he
was an absolute menace. Scott was active
in his high school’s marching band, hunted with his uncle and cousins, and
spent early mornings on Lake Lewisville skiing with friends before class. He then attended the University of North
Texas where he was an active member of the Lamba Chi
Alpha fraternity. One fateful evening
during a Date Night Party with the Pi Phi sorority, he met the love of his
life, Melinda (Meyer)
Blankenship. After several failed attempts to take her on
a date, she finally agreed! From then on, their love grew and grew.
Soon after graduating with a Bachelor of Business Administration in
Finance, Scott married Melinda and started his career as a financial advisor in
Phoenix, Arizona. There they began a
family with the birth of their two daughters,
Brennan and Rebecca (Becca)
Blankenship. Some years later, Scott and his family moved
back to Texas, eventually settling in the Northwest Houston area where he and
Melinda adopted their son, Joseph (Jose) Blankenship.
Scott’s favorite pastime was hunting. Whether it was with family, friends, or
clients, Scott found immense joy when spending time in the great outdoors. He especially loved all his hunting dogs;
they were like his second set of children.
His family loved eating the bounties of his hobby, including his
bacon-wrapped quail with a cream cheese and jalapeno filling and Thanksgiving
meals of pheasant and venison. His kids
also loved to trick their friends into unknowingly eating his deer sausage,
which was the best sausage around (they just didn’t know it yet).
Scott loved to read, research, and debate anything he found
interesting, which typically included politics, economics, religion, and
history. He could recall facts that he
read with almost perfect precision, much to the amazement of anyone with whom
he was debating. He never lost his love
for debate or his insatiable curiosity for the truth of things.
One of Scott’s best qualities was his devotion to the verse “Love
thy neighbor as thyself.” During his
early career, he joined Junior Achievement, dedicating his time to tutoring and
mentoring children in Phoenix. As an
active member of the church and a Deacon, he volunteered whenever he had time,
including taking communion to home-bound members of the church, delivering for
Angel Tree, organizing at the food pantry, or participating in local mission
trips. When he couldn’t give of his
time, he generously supported many children’s Christian education, Campus
Crusade for Christ, Christ’s Haven Children’s Home, and various foreign
missions.
Those of us who knew him were blessed by his constant support,
Spock-like logic, calming wisdom, impish chuckles, and steadfast love. We will forever miss his terrible jokes, his
light-hearted teasing, his ability to trap you into a long conversation, his
penchant for pheasant-themed knick-knacks, and his willingness to counsel you
in difficult times.
Scott is survived by his parents,
Claudette and Bobby, his wife
Melinda, their children Brennan, Becca, and Jose, and his sister Deborah.
Memorial Service will be at 11:00 am, Saturday, June 12, 2021,

Doris began working in the Glenvar

Highlander at heart, she never missed an athletic event and was a dedicated
ticket taker for both Glenvar High and Glenvar Middle events for over 30 years. After retirement,
she continued to work events at the Salem Civic Center – she genuinely loved
meeting new people.
Doris was a “go-getter” who enjoyed horseback riding, camping, yard
sales, and reading – she always had a book in her hands. She loved taking
trips, especially beach vacations, and could pack her bags at a moment’s
notice! She will be remembered most for her selfless love and devotion to
family, friends, and her church, Seneca Baptist.
