Blanche Patricia Karnes
Blanche Patricia Karnes, 87, of Boise passed away on Saturday, Feb. 28, 2004 of natural causes at her home, with her family by her side.
Blanche was born Feb. 20, 1917 in Anselmo, Neb., the daughter of Bernard and Donna McDermott. She was the youngest of four children. She graduated from Anselmo High School in 1935, then attended and graduated from Colorado Beauty College in 1936. She successfully operated her own beauty salons in Anselmo and Broken Bow. She married Willie Karnes of Anselmo on Nov. 29, 1939 in Anselmo. They moved to Idaho, where they lived for a time in Cascade, and then moved to Boise. They had three children, Bernard, Harry, and Donna. Blanche and Bill were married 64 years.
To be home with her preschool children, she did survey work with Eastern based companies. When all the children were in school she became manager of S & H Green Stamps. She became a long term employee with the state, first with the Idaho State Police, followed by Idaho Health and Welfare. She retired in February 1981.
Blanche was a tireless volunteer. She assisted in raising funds for St. Mary's Catholic school. She was active in the establishment of the Sacred Heart Catholic Church. She was a charter member of the parish and continued to be involved as a member and a volunteer in the parish office.
She was very much a positive part of her children's lives. She was an industrious elementary school volunteer and a creative Brownie Scout and Cub Scout leader.
In her retirement she participated in the community as a St. Alphonsus volunteer. She was recognized for her dependability, her commitment, and her great number of hours.
Friends always had a special place in Blanche's heart and home. With friends, she and Bill loved to play cards and travel.
She was preceded in death by her parents; a sister, Irene; and a brother, Tom.
Blanche is survived by her husband Willie; her sister, Clara Drew of Omaha; sons, Bernard Karnes of Mount Vernon, Wash. and Harry Karnes and wife Betty of Boise, Idaho; her daughter, Donna Baird and husband Bob of Boise, Idaho; her grandchildren, Colleen Johnson, Kelly Burke, Carla Karnes, Bill Karnes, Tricia Duffey, and Diane Henry; seven great-grandchildren, many nieces and nephews, and by a sister-in-law, Pearl Stevens of Merna.
We wish to send special thanks to St. Luke's Regional Medical Center and Life's Doors Hospice.
The family suggests that memorials may be made in Blanche's name to the Sacred Heart Catholic Church or a favorite charity.
Visitation will be from 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. Wednesday, March 3 at Alden-Waggoner Funeral Chapel. A vigil will be held at Sacred Heart Catholic Church 7:00 p.m. Thursday, March 4. The funeral will be at the church Friday, March 5 at 11 :00 a.m. Burial will be at Morris Hill Cemetery.
