Tuesday, July 8, 2003
Shirley Joy Blanchfield, 72, of Phoenix, AZ, passed from this world into a better place with her family at her side on July 3, 2003.
Her devotion to her beloved Savior, and her endless love and compassion for her family, friends, and anyone in need, will remain an inspiration to all that knew and loved her. She will be deeply missed by her surviving husband of 51 years, Joseph Blanchfield of Phoenix, her daughter, Jody Blanchfield of Oklahoma City, and her two sons, Jay Blanchfield of Phoenix, and Jeffrey Blanchfield of New York City. She was a wonderful mother, a perfect wife, and a dedicated Christian who delighted in serving the Lord. Even her neighbor commented that she had never met someone so busy doing God's work.
Memorial Services will be held at 11:00 am at Christ the Redeemer Lutheran Church, on July 9, 2003.
She spent many volunteer hours supporting Lutheran Braille Workers, a group dedicated to bringing Christ to those in darkness.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions to Lutheran Braille Workers, 8801 N. 43rd Ave, Phoenix AZ 85051, would be greatly appreciated.
