CURRENT CELEBRATIONS

Joan M. Blansche Dolcebac

Joan was strong-willed, especially when it came to helping others: she was always there to lend a helping hand. Fitting that she worked for social services for 25 years. She loved to keep active and had her hands into most everything at the Woodbury Mews, especially the casino trips. Earlier years found her being involved at St. Margaret’s: Extraordinary Minister since its inception in 1982 and a member of the Women’s Club. She was a graduate of the Little Flower High School in Philadelphia and belonged to Catholic Daughters of Brigantine. She was always on the go, loved to eat great food, had the most amazing laugh, never judged anyone, and had the most generous heart.
Joan raised her children in Oak Valley and was the mother of John Blansche (Vicky) of Saint Augustine, Florida, the late Joanne Kusmanick (John), Lynne Stott (Bill) of Deptford, and the late Edward Blansche. She was also the grandmother of John Kusmanick Jr. (Jamie), William Stott Jr. (Kristine) JoElla Kusmanick, Laura Stott, Joseph Stott, Edward Blansche Jr, Amy Anderson & Ashley Kanac (Matt); and great grandmother of 9. She is also survived by her niece, Joan Wagenhiem and nephew, Kenny Wagenhiem.
