MY SISTER BLANCHE
by Betty Jo Gibson Scott
I never lived in the home with most of my brothers and sisters since they were already married and gone from home by the time I was born or of an age to remember. When I was small I was excited to see them come to visit because they had children I could play with. However, I knew they loved me and always seemed glad to see me. My sister, Blanche, was one of them.
One time they invited me to come to Hobart,Oklahoma, where they lived for awhile, for a visit. I was probably about 13 or 14 years old. I went by train and that was a very exciting trip for me to travel alone "so far" from home. Of course I had a really good time. Then when I went to Enid to work the summer before my last year in high school, I stayed with them for awhile. That was the first time I had ever seen a "rear-view" mirror in a bathroom, and it was the first time I ever had a really good look at the back of my hair! I have never been without one since I left home. I always thougt the dresses she made for her three girls were so pretty, and some times she made them for other little girls in the family. I know I got some of them.
Then there was the year when we lived in Covington and Blanche kept my three year old youngest son, Mark, while I rode back and forth with Roy to work in Enid. Mark liked to stay there so much that he didn't seem to care if he came home or stayed there. He really looked forward to his morning bowl of oatmeal, he said mine wasn't as good as "Aunt Banch's."
That is the way it was with Blanche. She was always so thoughtful and caring of other people. I hated to tell her I had a head ache because the tears would roll down her cheeks in sympathy. She loved pretty things and spent hours in her flower beds. Every time I left she sent a start of a plant with me. She was a good cook and made the best pie crust I ever tasted and she gave me many pieces of her handwork. For years, when it was popular to put doilies on the arms and backs of overstuffed furniture, I always had pretty sets made by Blanche. She even taught me how to block them with sugar water so they would keep their shape. One year for Christmas she made me a Raggedy Ann doll. I was thrilled and just about wore it playing with it but I still have and cherish that rag doll.
She had pretty natural curly blonde hair and in her later years, it was a pretty curly white. I always wondered why I couldn't have inherited that curly hair since I hated to get those machine permanents that burned my head and ears. She was a quiet person but she was always ready to help others. Many times she would have a quilt "in the frame". I would like to know how many quilts she made. She enjoyed belonging to clubs and quilting with friends. Her granddaughter, Diane Fluman Greinert, said she learned so much from her grandmother about patience. I know I learned a lot from her about caring about other people. We had a common love of family history and her little book of our families birth, marriage and death information was the start of my records. I loved her dearly as did everyone around her.
I was never too close to Roy when I was young. He was much stricter than my Dad and I was a little afraid of him but I expect he thought I was pretty spoiled. He and Blanche were always very active in their church and I remember hearing his voice booming above others singing those beautiful old hymns. However, in later years, especially when I was riding back and forth to work in Enid with him, I liked to hear him tell stories about his life and railroad work and I regret that I don't remember much about what he told me. After Blanche died, every time I went to Covington to visit my other sisters, I would stop to say hello to Roy and he always had a bag of his home made chocolate chip cookies to send home with me.OBITUARY (Enid News & Eagle)
