https://www.starbucklind.com/obituary/kyleen-blankenship

Kyleen “Judy” Blankenship, the eldest of three children, was born on September 10, 1940, to Martha and Kyle Oaks in San Diego, California. She passed away on August 24, 2021, from complications of pneumonia.

Judy was raised in Lemon Grove, California, and graduated from Helix High school in 1958. Upon graduation, she began her journey pursuing her lifelong passion when she was accepted to the Mercy College of Nursing. Mercy Hospital, the oldest hospital in San Diego, was founded by the Catholic Sisters of Mercy in 1890. Judy told many stories about how strict the sisters were but that they were excellent teachers and mentors. They instilled in her ethical values and compassion when caring for patients that she carried with her throughout her career. Judy graduated with a 3-year diploma degree in nursing as an RN. During her nursing training, Dr. WB Jamison, an OB-GYN Physician who has been practicing in Lompoc for decades, was the “chief resident “in OB-GYN at Mercy during Judy’s nursing training and they both landed in Lompoc years later. 

After graduating from nursing school, Judy married Norman Kolish in 1961. In 1962 they welcomed their first child, Julie, and later in 1964 their son Curtis. Judy, her siblings, and her children were all born at Mercy Hospital. The family moved to El Paso Texas, then in 1967 moved to Lompoc, California, where Judy started her nursing career at Lompoc District Hospital. She started as a medical-surgical floor nurse and soon, with her compassion, excellent nursing skills, and leadership abilities became the department’s charge nurse. Judy and Norman separated in 1973.

Judy later met her soulmate and the love of her life, Marvin “Marv” Blankenship, whom she married on February 8, 1975. Marv’s children, Frank, and Sherry became a wonderful part of Judy’s family that she truly loved and cherished. The family enjoyed many great, fun, and memorable times together. Judy loved the holidays, especially Christmas, and was famous for the many generous gifts she gave to everyone.

In the early 1980s, the Director of Nurses and Judy’s dear friend, Mrs. Martha Hicks, recognized Judy’s skills and leadership qualities and transferred Judy to the position of charge nurse of the ER. Judy was reluctant with her new position, but later found the move to be her true calling as an emergency room nurse and leader.

Judy was a teacher, friend, and mom to everyone she worked with and always let them know how important and appreciated they were. She loved to share her knowledge and compassion of nursing. Judy taught Advanced Cardiac life support and Basic Life support to nurses, Respiratory Therapists, and doctors alike. She was a great mentor to all the new graduating nurses and took them under her wing, giving them support and confidence. She became the ER Director at the original old Lompoc hospital and helped with planning and moving to the new hospital that opened on June 29th, 2010.

Judy won awards from BETA healthcare Group for outstanding and safe care in the ER department. She received many accolades and awards for her support of the Crisis and Rape Center in Lompoc and for her support of the Santa Barbara County Emergency Medical Services.

Judy retired as the ER director in 2010. She missed working at the hospital so much that she returned to work as the day nursing house supervisor until retiring in 2013. Judy had many friends at the hospital that she truly loved and thought of as family.

Judy is preceded in death by her beloved husband, Marv Blankenship, her parents, Martha and Kyle Oaks, brother William Oaks, Grandson, Robert Kolish, and daughter-in-law Susan Blankenship.

She is survived by her loving children, Frank Blankenship, Sherry Cota (Raymond), Julie Victor (Shaun), and Curtis Kolish, and grandchildren: Christopher and Jeffery Blankenship (Jessica), Raymond Cota Jr. (Dawn), Frankie Cota (Nicole) Casey-Ann Hogue (Billy) and Kyle, Kelsey, and Corey Kolish. Great-grandchildren, Emma Cota, Jayden, Hayden, Cole and Brent Cota, Alicia Hogue and Rhodes Blankenship who was just born this September 11, just one day after Judy’s birthday, sister Patricia Gano and nephew’s Ken and Tim Winget, her beloved niece Gail Aldridge and family, numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and her best and oldest friend she worked with from 1967, who she adored, Jo Foster and her two fur babies Twitch and Sadie.

Judy’s graveside service will be held on Saturday, September 18, 2021, at 10:30 am at the Lompoc Evergreen Cemetery. Starbuck-Lind Mortuary

https://www.chattanoogan.com/2021/9/16/434922/Ward-Carol-Sue-Blankenship.aspx

Carol Sue Blankenship Ward passed away peacefully at her home in Harrison, Tennessee, on September 15, 2021, in the presence of her family, following an aggressive cancer treatment during the past two and a half years. She was born on Dec. 8, 1954, to Wilbur Lorn Blankenship and Nadine Leonard Blankenship in Neosho, Missouri.

Growing up, she enjoyed day picnics and overnight camping trips with her parents and friends, as well as weeklong visits to her grandparents’ farms with her cousins. She wanted to be an astronaut from a very young age, inspired by the testing of the Saturn V engines just a mile from her home. She graduated fourth in her class of 210 students at Neosho High School in 1973, where her classmates voted her Most Likely to Succeed.

Her interest in math and curiosity about how buildings were constructed steered her towards civil engineering, a field that at the time was extremely rare for women to pursue. She took courses at Crowder College and then attended the University of Missouri Columbia, where she earned her BS CE degree in 1977. Upon graduation, she accepted a job at the Tennessee Valley Authority in Knoxville, primarily working on nuclear power plant design. She would later obtain her Professional Engineer license.

Carol and her husband Chuck, who also joined TVA around the same time, met while visiting the same church and were married there in 1980. They had two sons, and she chose to be a stay-at-home mom until they were both in school. In 1988, the family moved to Chattanooga. Carol then pursued volunteer activities that she could perform out of her home. In particular, she took up architectural drafting and produced CAD drawings of the Erlanger Hospital complex, documenting their existing layout and incorporating remodeling plans. She went on to obtain a part-time position with a local architect, designing hotels and public buildings.

Carol was a lifelong member of the United Methodist Church. After moving to Chattanooga, she joined St. John UMC and was a major contributor to many ministries: Welcoming, Missions, Family Ministries, Stewardship, Finance, Worship (Choir and Prayer Team), the Trustees, and the Parsonage Committee. She coordinated Habitat for Humanity service days and delivered food for F.I.S.H. Hospitality Pantries. She and Chuck represented St. John at the United Methodist Holston Annual Conference for several years. She co-founded the Young At Heart group and organized many gatherings and trips. She made many friendships through the UMW and the Close Knit Friends knitting/crocheting group.

Outside of the church, Carol also sought other ways to serve her community. At her children’s schools, she was involved in the PTA, band boosters, and chaperoning overnight trips. Since retirement, she helped the underserved obtain medical care through the Volunteers in Medicine program.

Carol thoroughly enjoyed hiking, biking, and camping, especially in the nearby Great Smoky Mountains. She was fascinated by pioneer life and learned about it through books and films. She spent free time knitting, crocheting, and smocking and—taking after her mother—would produce homemade clothes and curtains. She especially liked the challenge of figuring out and creating patterns.

Carol is survived by her husband Charles “Chuck” Ward of 41 years; her sons, David Ward of Cambridge, Massachusetts and Jason Ward of Harrison, TN; her sister, Janice Blankenship James (Terry) of Conway, Arkansas; and six nieces and seven nephews.

A celebration of Carol’s life will be on Wednesday at 2 pm, on Tuesday, Sept. 21, at St. John United Methodist Church. Burial will take place afterwards at Hamilton Memorial Gardens. Chattanooga Funeral Home

https://www.fanningfuneralhomes.com/obituaries/Jonathan--Lee-Blankenship?obId=22324716

Early on September 6, 2021, Jonathan Lee Blankenship, of Kenova, WV, formerly of Raysal, WV, passed away peacefully in his sleep.

Jonathan was always smiling and happy and was loved by everyone who knew him. He was a joy to be around and in his 28 [b.24Mar1993] short years with us, his outgoing and lively personality made a lasting impression in the lives of those he met along the way. But grief is hard, especially when saying goodbye to someone so young who added so much noise, laughter and fun to our lives. For now, our houses and our hearts are strangely quiet. There are no calls with news from his day or funny texts he would send to lighten our moods. He was at once a handful and a delight, but he was always with us, supporting and loving his family and many friends. In our sorrow we pull together as the family he built, each hurting for our loss but hopeful for the day when we will see his smiling face once again, that smiling, happy and loving young man who gave us so much and left us way too soon.

He was preceded in death by his father John William Blankenship, his aunt Amy Morgan, his paternal grandfather Johnny Blankenship, and great grandfather Bill Mullins, also, by his special maternal grandparents Wilson and Phyllis Cantrell.

So many remain to cherish his memory. He will be greatly missed by his mother, Sammi Leigh Greenwale, his two brothers, Tyler Blankenship and Gabriel Greenwale, maternal grandparents Vincent and Sally Cantrell, who treated Jonathan as a son, and maternal grandmother Lovina Coffin. He will also be missed by his aunts and uncles Jennifer and Rich Spangler with whom he shared a special bond and Paul and Melissa Cantrell. His cousins include Gatlin Spangler who was in many ways as close as a brother, Kevin Cantrell and Mikayla Napier. Also left to cherish Jonathan’s memory include his girlfriend, Kalen Stapleton and AJ Johnson whom Jonathan referred to as his brother as well as Devon Lamar Johnson II who Jonathan lovingly referred to as his nephew, his cousins, Jordan Blankenship, Wynter, Brandon, and Brooklyn Morgan. Jonathan also leaves behind a host of other family members and friends that share in our grief. His life, though short, touched many lives.

A Celebration of Life Service will be held from 4:00 pm until 7:00 pm Saturday, September 18, 2021 with Reverend Paul Cantrell officiating at The Fanning Funeral Home Chapel in Iaeger.
