Pamela Y. Blankenship, age 53, of Mulberry Grove, IL, died at 8:44 a.m. Saturday, April 16, 2022 at Barnes Jewish Hospital in St. Louis, MO. She was born February 11, 1969 in Highland, IL, the daughter of Delbert (Shirley) Klenke of Hardy, AR and Nona (nee Busch) (Jim) Nance of Pocahontas, IL.

Pam will be remembered dearly for her infectious smile, her zest and love for life and her family. She loved cooking, going to her kids’ sporting events, Jeeping, country music, singing, dancing and going to concerts, road trips, cards (especially Euchre), the outdoors, water, boating, flip flops, her toes in the sand, sunshine and warm weather,

Being both soft and strong is a combination very few have mastered, yet Pam did for herself and her family, especially her children. She was beautiful inside and out, always looked for and found the beauty and good in others. Pam was a very dear friend to many; her arms were always open and welcoming and she never knew a stranger.

She is smiling non-stop now. She is singing, dancing, surely making someone laugh, probably being a bit of a smart aleck, playing Euchre as often as possible (and getting loners very few could), and doing it with dignity and grace, just as she lived and fought all of the battles in her life here on earth; she may have lost the battle, yet we know she is victorious in Christ and forever happy for all eternity.

She was preceded in death by her grandparents.

She married Bradley A. Wilkerson. He survives. Besides her parents and husband, she is survived by two children: Garrett (Valerie) Blankenship of Mulberry Grove, IL and Caity (Mark) Hofelich of O’Fallon, IL; four step-children, whom she considered her own: Maddie (Skylar) Depew, Katey Wilkerson (fiancé Cameron Summers), Carley Wilkerson and Holden Wilkerson, all of Vandalia, IL; one grandchild, Amelia Blankenship; two step-grandchildren: Ella Depew and Paisley Summers; three siblings: Della Field of Greenville, IL, Jeffrey (Janice) Klenke of Buckeye, AZ and James (Valerie) Klenke of Greenville, IL; nine nieces and nephews; and many aunts, uncles and cousins.

Funeral services will be 12:00 pm, Thursday, April 28, 2022 at First Christian Church, 1100 Killarney Dr., Greenville, IL. Burial of her cremated remains follow in Brown Cemetery in Pocahontas, IL.

https://www.callahamfuneralhome.com/obituaries/Peggy-Booth-Stepp/#!/Obituary

Peggy Booth Blankenship Stepp, age 81, of Inez, KY, crossed over to her eternal home April 18, 2022.

Born August 30, 1941, in Martin County, she was the daughter of the late Sheridan and Bertha (Mills) Booth.

Peggy was a graduate of Warfield High School, Pikeville College, and Morehead State University. She began her career in education in 1962, teaching social studies to students at Inez High School. The following year, she transferred to Warfield High School as a teacher and then went to the new high school (currently Martin County High School) that combined both high schools in Martin County when it opened in 1972. In 1982, Peggy was hired as assistant principal and remained in that position until she retired in 1997.

Peggy not only taught the principles of good citizenship, she made efforts to know her students. She was a teacher, counselor, and disciplinarian combined who has helped many students over the years. It was not unusual for Peggy to give students money for a personal need, purchase a prom dress, or take them to her home and give them a good meal, conversation/guidance, or clothing. She inspired and encouraged students to always work hard to acquire credentials that would allow them to have a happy and prosperous career. Many former students, who became doctors, plumbers, electricians, lawyers, teachers, etc., have expressed that Peggy believed in them and supported their dreams. Most of all, she helped them dream and, by example, how to work toward their goals.

Peggy also taught adult education over the years and helped many adults acquire their GED diplomas. Her realm of helping others is an example of Christianity in a very unselfish way. She always knew how to lead individuals to make a positive difference in their lives and surroundings.

As a founding member of the Martin County Historical Society or being on the board/membership of an existing civic group, Peggy always advocated for the betterment of Martin County via organizations such as the Rotary and Kiwanis civic groups. Peggy served as a member and, oftentimes, chairperson, of several larger community-wide boards, including the Big Sandy Health Care Board and the Big Sandy Community and Technical College. She was a 51-year member, beginning in 1971, of the Order of the Eastern Star with the Inez Chapter.

After 35 years of working in the education field, Peggy became a real estate agent with Realty One USA. She knew the community well and how to help families relocate when needed.

The heartbreaking disease of dementia began affecting her daily life approximately 14 years ago. She lost her ability to enunciate words six years ago. Peggy has had the very best possible caregiving in her home. Her most recent caregivers of several years were Brenda Jude Robertson, Lalah Woolever, Millie Reagan and Elizabeth Webb (cousin). With their excellent care, along with guidance from the Appalachian Hospice Group, she passed peacefully in her home. Her caregiving was coordinated by her sister, Karen, who followed the teachings of their mother to love and take care of each other in conjunction with guidance from the teaching of God in Colossians 3:12 - God tells us to clothe ourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility and patience.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Orville Ray Blankenship, sister, Joyce Booth Ferris, and brother, Glen Morris Booth.

Peggy is survived by her husband, Landon Stepp, one son, Dr. John Stuart (Sarabeth) Blankenship, and a grandson, Jack, of Elizabethtown, KY. Also surviving are her siblings, Don (Thelma) Booth of Warfield, KY, Sheridan Jr. (Carol) Booth, Jim (Linda) Booth, Karen (Bill) Booth Harvey of Inez, KY and sister-in-law Joann Booth of Warfield, KY. In addition, she leaves behind several nieces and nephews along with great-nieces, great-nephews, cousins, and friends.

Funeral services will be held at 2:00 pm, on Wednesday, April 20, 2022, at the Callaham Funeral Home in Inez, KY. Pastor Dr. Garrett Mills will be conducting her services along with Pastor Dwayne Mills. Rheta Mills, who led a Dementia Support Group for three years in Inez, will present a special prayer. Burial will follow at the Riverview Memorial Gardens in Louisa, KY.

Cynthia “Cindy” Blankenship Landry, a native of Bunkie and resident of Baton Rouge, age 74 [1947], departed this life on Monday, April 4, 2022. After a brief battle with cancer, Cindy passed away peacefully surrounded by her family. Cindy was born September 2, 1947 in Hendricks, MN and raised in Bunkie, LA.

Cindy graduated from Bunkie High School in 1964 and soon after married and relocated to Baton Rouge. As a mother, Cindy found her calling. Her ability to nurture and care for those she loved was truly unmatched. She raised three children but became a second mother to many more, often taking in friends of her children for days or weeks without a second thought. Becoming a grandmother was an opportunity for Cindy to again shower her family with love. She loved her 5 grandchildren immensely and made sure to tell them at every possible opportunity, being present for every sporting event, recital, concert or special day that she possibly could. After losing her only son, Cindy discovered a way to love and survive by joining the Baton Rouge Chapter of Compassionate Friends, a support group dedicated to those who have lost children. She later was honored to serve as their chapter leader, a title she held for 7 years. Cindy then served on the national board of TCF until her passing. Cindy felt she was called to serve and help others in their grief journey. In addition to this important work, Cindy also spent much of her free time quilting with her dear friends or volunteering for Second Chance Dog Rescue of LA. She will be greatly missed by all who loved her.

Cindy was preceded in death by her son, Patrick "Vaughn" Landry, parents Charles Vaughn and Gene Blankenship and brother, Ronald Blankenship.
