Obituary: Mary Ellen Blankenship, 88, of Radford Drive, Greeneville, passed away , 15, 2011, at her home with her family by her side.
Mary Ellen was a sister, wife, mother, grandmother, homemaker, and seamstress who gave all she had to each role she carried in this life. She provided a warm and loving home for her family and ensured there was never a shortage of love, smiles and hugs for all her abies.
She loved God , her family and friends, spreading immeasurable joy to all who had the pleasure of being near her. She spent most of her life in the Camp Creek community and resided at Plaza Towers for the 10 years prior to her stroke in 2010. While living at the Towers, she made many very special friends. She was a member of Union Chapel Free Will Baptist Church and dearly loved her pastor and church family.
Despite her illness, she continued to be content with her new circumstances. She always wore a beautiful smile and even though she couldn speak, she became good at communicating with those around her with amazing patience.
Her children and grandchildren knew they were a treasure to her and she would never get enough of just being with them. Even in the darkest hours, the radiance of her smile warmed their hearts. That light will shine continually through the generations, although not nearly so brightly without her leading the way. Her passing has saddened us all, but we will meet again in the great reunion with our Lord, family, and friends who have gone before.
