(Baltimore, MD)) - January 31, 2019
William A. Blankenship Jr., who served with the Army Corps of Engineers in the Pacific Theater
during World War II and later became an Air Force reservist and salesman, died
Monday at Oak Crest Village in Parkville from complications from heart disease.
He was 101. He was born in Baltimore at home on Calvert Street, where he was
also raised. He was the son of William
A. Blankenship, Sr., a
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad clerk, and Lucy Hewes Blankenship, a schoolteacher and homemaker.
Mr. Blankenship attended Polytechnic Institute and later earned his
General Education diploma, and after working several different jobs, enlisted
in the Army in 1942. He served during World War II in the Pacific Theater and
was stationed in the Philippines and Papua, New Guinea. He was discharged in
1946 with the rank of major. He then became an Air Force reservist and after 21
years of service retired in 1977 with the rank of lieutenant colonel.
Mr. Blankenship was employed for years as a salesman and finally
treasurer of Heller Bedding, a mattress manufacturing company. He retired in
1982. The longtime resident of Woodlawn Road in Roland Park, and later Elkridge

Verdi.
"He loved taking the train to New York and going to the
Metropolitan Opera," said his daughter,
Carol B Davis of Ruxton. "He was very
knowledgeable about Verdi and had a large collection of recordings, tapes and
compact discs. That was his big pastime."
Mr. Blankenship was a communicant of the Episcopal Church of St.
Michael and All Angels, where he had been junior and senior warden and a
vestryman. A resident of Oak Crest Village since 1997, Mr. Blankenship was a
former president of the Roland Park Civic League and the Roland Park Pool.

Paul S. Podolak, 84, of Elkton, MD, passed away Friday, July 3,
2015 after a brief illness. Born in Wilmington, DE on March 8, 1931, Paul was
the son of the late Stephen and Anna Shatynski Podolak.
He graduated in 1948 from Wilmington High School and during that
time played football, basketball and baseball. Following graduation, he worked
for Wilmington Trust and Electric Hose and Rubber Co. He joined the Air Force
in 1950 and was stationed at Fort Dix and Stewart Air Base in Newburgh, NY.
During this time he met his future wife, Marguerite, in Wildwood, NJ. They were
married in 1952 and settled in Wilmington and he started working for Kemper
Insurance. In 1960, Paul enrolled in the University of
Baltimore Law School and they moved to Baltimore.
In 1963, he graduated and passed the Maryland Bar in November of
that year and they decided to stay in Maryland. In December of 1963, while
doing insurance work with Kemper for the Pan Am flight 214 crash in Elkton, he
met Charles Huester who invited him to Elkton to practice law, saying "If
you want to move, I have a desk for you." On May 1, 1964, they took him up
on his offer and moved to Elkton to practice law.
Two weeks after moving to Elkton, Paul was accepted into the Secret
Service. He declined their offer as they were just getting settled. In 1965, he
began his work as Assistant State's Attorney and remained in that position
until 1980, when he became State's Attorney and served in that capacity until
1982. He then resumed private practice until retiring in 1997.
Always athletic, Paul started skiing in 1980 and in 1993 he took up
golf. He was a member of Chantilly Manor Country Club in Rising Sun. He also
enjoyed playing at the member guest tournaments at the Rehoboth Beach Country
Club with his lifelong best friend, Walter Hatz, who preceded him in death. We
are sure that they are playing golf in heaven, where every shot is a birdie. He
also played in numerous Cecil County Chamber of Commerce Golf Tournaments. Paul
was a member of the Republican Committee and served as Chairman of the Board
for Bayside Community Network from 1995 to present.

Blanche (Betty) May Earle passed away on September 26th at the home
of her daughter, Glenna DiBlasi.
She was laid to rest on September 29th at Holly Hill Memorial
Gardens in Middle River, Maryland.
Betty was born on June 2, 1920 in Waynesboro, Pennsylvania. She was
one of John and Mabel Whitlock's fifteen children. Married to the late Walter
Earle for forty two years, she was a devoted mother to seven children.
Over the course of her life, Betty resided in Middle River, Havre
De Grace, Bowley's Quarters, Rosedale, and Bel Air.
Betty was predeceased by her husband, Walter Earle, who died on
April 4th, 1979. She was also predeceased by eleven siblings: Alice Stymiest, Edward Whitlock, William Whitlock,
Alvilda McFerren, John Whitlock, Frances Bovey, Daniel Whitlock, Genevieve Blankenship, Myrtle McKissick, James Whitlock, and
Naomi Myers.
Betty is survived by three siblings: Larry Whitlock of
Williamsburg, Virginia, Donald Whitlock of Lutz, Florida, and Mabel Earle of
Bel Air. She is also survived by seven children: David Earle of Woodbine,
Patricia Elliott of Bel Air, Gale Reveley of Shrewsbury, Pennsylvania, Nina
Eager of Glen Arm, Daniel Earle of Seattle, Washington, Shannon Earle of
Rosedale, and Glenna DiBlasi of Jarrettsville. Betty had six grandchildren,
seven great-grandchildren, and many adoring friends.
Betty volunteered for a number of years in the maternity ward at
Franklin Square Hospital in Essex, but most of her life was dedicated to caring
for her family. She was a voracious reader of periodicals and a dedicated
writer of letters and cards that were often treasured by their recipients.
Betty enjoyed creating artwork and loved gardening. Her gardens were a source
of personal pride, beautified her neighborhoods, and were even recognized with awards.
Betty's homes were always spotless, filled with an eclectic and beautiful mix
of decorations, and were permeated by the fresh smells of soaps, creams, and
baked goods. She was a tremendous cook, and her scrumptious soups, spreads,
sauces, pot pies, and desserts will be greatly missed. Betty's desire to care
for her family was present to the very end of her life. The combination of her
humor, honesty, courage, straight-forwardness, pride, selflessness, and
empathetic nature created a one of a kind character.
At our future family gatherings, discarded drinks won't disappear
quite as quickly, dishes may pile in the sink, and coffee will be on a little
bit later, but Mother - Grand mom - Great Mom Mom- Betty will still be present
inside every single one of us.

(Pennsylvania) State Teacher's College, now Indiana University, with her
bachelor of arts in music. While at her first teaching assignment, she met
George. As her family moved and grew, she continued to teach music in the
Pennsylvania school systems. She was often the church organist and choir
director at the church where the family would worship.
The family's final move was to Dallas. Carole taught music at West
Side Tech in Pringle, and after receiving her degree in Library Science at
Marywood College, in Scranton, she completed her teaching career as librarian
at Lake-Lehman High School. After retiring, Carole and George traveled extensively
around the country and the world. She was involved in Eastern Star, and the
women's group of the Shriners. Carole and George loved many things in life,
including big band music, ballroom dancing, Penn State football/tailgating, the
love and fellowship of their friends, their ability to give back to the
community, and the strength and commitment to each other that they received
through their faith in the Lord. Most of all, they loved family and what it
really meant to be a family.
After George's passing, Carole moved to Bel Air, Md., to live with
her daughter, Gretchen and her family. Carole had their love and support every
day; she was never alone. She also had the gentle care of In-Home Hospice,
which kept her at peace and free from pain. We, her children, look forward to
the Resurrection and our reunion with our parents and family.
She is preceded in death by her parents, and her sisters, Ruth
Porter and Thelma Brubaker. Most recently, she lost the love of her life on
March 14, 2015, her husband of 61 years, George W. Pyle.
She is survived by her children, Chrisan Pyle Holton (Stephen),
George W. Pyle Jr. (aka Kurt) and Gretchen Pyle Slater (Jeffry); and her grandchildren (and
great-grandchildren), Jennifer
Blankenship (Emily and Madison
Walsh), Laura Pyle (Roland Lancaster) and Shawn and Alan Slater.
Her memorial service will be at 11 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 3, in St.
Paul's Lutheran Church, Dallas.

on April 25, 1927 in Dott, West Virginia, passed away at age 92 on July 1, 2019
in Riverdale, [Anne
Arundel Co.,] Maryland,
the daughter of the late Luther B. Harrison and Gladys E. (nee Watkins)
Harrison Burgess and W. Cecil Burgess.
Born in Dott, WV and raised in Mercer County, WV, Estelle made her
home in Lanham, MD for more than 50 years. At the time of her passing Estelle
was a resident of Crescent Cities Center in Riverdale, MD. Estelle was a
homemaker, avid gardener, seamstress and handcrafter throughout her life.
She was very good at playing marbles in middle school in the
schoolyard and thought it fun to win many marbles from the boys. Her brothers
and the other boys didn't though! She thought it fun to humorously recount the
day the boys discovered the girls' secret swimming hole and got there before
the girls. The girls gleefully hid the boys clothing! Estelle enjoyed making
memory books for her grandchildren.
She was a 'cafeteria lady' at Thomas Johnson Middle School in the
late 60's to early 70's and had many fond memories of the students. She was the
Cafeteria Manager at Riverdale Baptist School in its early inception in the
early to mid-1970's. She went on to manage the New
Carrollton Contract U.S. Post Office from 1975 until she retired in 1991. She
was a Girl Scout Leader in the mid 1960's until 1970 that met in James McHenry
Elementary School, Lanham, MD.
She was an active member with her church,
Riverdale Baptist Church formerly located in Riverdale, MD and after the church
moved to Largo, MD from 1963 up until May 2017. She was a fulltime church
volunteer in the Infant Nursery for many years and at one time it's Director.
She had many happy memories and stories of her babies whom she proudly watched grow
into adulthood becoming parents themselves. She was a Sunday School
teacher and a youth AWANA Leader at church. She enjoyed writing letters to pen
pal friends that she'd made over the years and to friends who were housebound
or moved out of state.
Estelle was 'nana', 'mom-mom', 'maw' and 'granny' to many and to several of the neighborhood children. She
loved to be outdoors working in her yard, planting and tending to her gardens,
raking leaves in the fall and even shoveling winter snows. She was an avid
gardener and would often share iris tubers with new neighbors. She was often
seen most mornings no matter the season sitting in a rocking chair on her front
porch, having coffee, feeding the birds who nested
nearby and reading from her Bible or sitting under the gazebo in her backyard.
She also loved to sew and quilt. She made many of her children's
clothing and costumes when they were young. It was not unusual for her to buy
material and create dresses the same day for her younger daughters when they
were teenagers. There are many decorative quilted pillows in the homes of
family, friends and acquaintances. She loved to cook and bake for her family,
neighborhood friends and church. She was still baking the birthday cakes for
her Sunday School class and many class events up until
2017.
She remained youthful and fun throughout her life. She had an
exceptional memory and would entertain her children and grandchildren to
jingles from the 40's and 50's. One of her son's high school friends 'Boo-Boo'
would often come home with him after school wanting her to play Chubby
Checkers' the Twist on the record player and dance the Twist that she taught
them during the twist craze. She and one of her granddaughters Jessica would
often take pictures of themselves trying on Sunday ladies' hats and party hats
when they shopped. She loved all holidays celebrating our country, veterans and
servicemen and women. She was a very proud American and always made a flag 4th
of July cake. Her children and grandchildren were the center of her life. She
made many sacrifices for them and loved them all. Estelle was married to the
late Bernard A. Thomas Sr., that marriage ending in divorce.
She is predeceased by her husband Robert B. Kirk and son Bernard A.
('Sonny') Thomas, Jr. and son-in-law Daniel J. Blankenship Sr. She is
predeceased by her brothers, Clarence R. Harrison, Luther B. Harrison Jr., Paul
Harrison and sisters Catherine Harrison Leach and Margie Harrison Wimmer.
Estelle is survived by her daughters,
Bernardine C. (nee Thomas)

Princeton, WV, Sharon E. (nee Thomas) Browne of Florida, Deborah L.(nee Thomas) Igal (Sam) of CO and WV and Paula J. (nee

Chief Warrant Officer Three Gerald LaRue Cole, "Gerry" or
"LaRue," 41, passed away Friday, July 1, 2016, at his home in
Hagerstown, MD. Born April 29, 1975, in Richlands, VA, Gerry was the only son
of Gerald (Jerry) Cole of Abingdon, VA, and Nina Lynn Cole of Tazewell, VA.
A husband, a father, a son, a brother, a
friend, a patriot, a warrior. Gerry graduated high school in 1993 from Temple Christian School
in Abingdon and soon after pursued a military career.
Chief Warrant Officer Three Cole enlisted in the U.S. Army on Jan.
4, 1994, where he launched his career as a U.S. Army Chemical Operations
Specialist. Gerry reclassified to the Military Intelligence (MI) Corps after
graduating from the U.S. Army Counterintelligence (CI) Special Agent Course in
December 2001, earning the Military Occupational Specialty, 97B - CI Special
Agent. After achieving the rank of Master Sergeant in the enlisted corps, Gerry
was selected to attend Warrant Officer School, where he was commissioned as a
Warrant Officer One in 2007.
Throughout his career, Gerry's embodiment of the Warrior Ethos —
tremendous patriotism, leadership, character, competence and technical
expertise — was known to many to be second to none. Gerry served in a number of
assignments, including service as a Nuclear Biological Chemical Specialist and
Chemical Reconnaissance Team member with the 7th Special Forces Group
(Airborne) at Fort Bragg, NC; platoon sergeant and Tactical Human Intelligence
Team leader with the 519th MI Battalion at Fort Bragg; observer/controller at
the U.S. Army Joint Readiness Training Center at Fort Polk, LA; senior CI
Technician and team leader with the U.S. Army Operations Security Detachment at
Fort Meade, MD; and Counter Intelligence Staff Officer at Headquarters U.S.
Army Special Operations Agency, Pentagon, VA.
Chief Warrant Officer Three Cole completed four combat deployments
to Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, two combat deployments to Afghanistan
in support of Operation Enduring Freedom and numerous other deployments
throughout the world where he stood shoulder-to-shoulder with our nation's most
elite warriors. His efforts contributed to his unit's overwhelming success in
protecting his warfighting brethren and bringing our enemies to justice.
Gerry's courageous and selfless actions throughout his career
earned him numerous accolades, including Legion of Merit, two Bronze Stars, a
Meritorious Service Medal, two Joint Service Commendation Medals and four Army
Commendation Medals. He was a recipient of the Military Intelligence Corps
Association Knowlton Award. He performed his duties professionally, selflessly
and humbly — embodying the virtues of both a great soldier and a great
American.
Gerry was known for his love of the outdoors. He loved hunting,
fishing, hiking, biking, horseback riding, barbecuing and spending time with
his family and friends. He loved working with his sons on his classic Corvette,
where he not only taught them about cars but about life lessons. As a loving
father and husband, Gerry capitalized on every opportunity to experience life
with his wife and sons, whom he loved dearly.
He is survived by his loving wife, Amy Wright Cole; two sons, Jacob
William Cole and Mitchell Allen Cole; father, Gerald Stanley Cole; mother, Nina
Lynn Cole; sister, Jennifer Lark Cole; grandmothers,
Phylis Blankenship and
Lorraine Cole; his loving dog, Maggie; and countless family, friends and
