NAGY - Blanche Mary Therese Nagy was born on July 25, 1930 at Melville, Saskatchewan; a daughter of Victor & Rose (nee Rusnak) Lemaire. She received her education at St. Henry's School. On June 15, 1949 she was united in marriage to Joseph Nagy of the Otthon district. The couple settled into farming and raising their family of nine children. Blanche was widowed in 1978 by the sudden passing of Joe. Following that time she continued to make her home on the farm as son Dennis took over the farming duties. Mom, granny, great granny, aunt, sister & friend will be remembered for her kind heart, her generosity towards others, and for her enjoyment of the simple pleasures in life. Her homemade bread, her hot mustard recipe, the famous dill pickles, and the generous meals that she prepared for anyone who came to her door. To anyone what seemed like a feast, she always replied "it wasn't much". Blanche passed away following a brief illness on Tuesday, November 13, 2012 at St. Peter's Hospital in Melville. She was 82 years of age. Everybody is alive until they die, but not everyone "lives" until they die. Mom lived.
