At the tender age of 17, Blanche and John loaded all their worldly possessions in a 1939 Chevy, left Conway, SC, and started their life in Charleston. For 65 years, she was a devoted wife and mother. She worked in the Five and Dime in downtown Charleston, but soon gave up working outside the home for three children. Her active participation as a homemaker and mother led her to be a member of the PTA of North Charleston Elementary School in the 50's and 60's. She was a valued member of the North Charleston Jaycees. Her love of gardening always had her home on Park Circle in full color during the spring. Blanche loved sewing and made clothes for her children long after homemade clothes were considered fashionable. She and her husband were partners in a real estate and insurance business. Their love of animals she had always meant there was a pet in the home that received and gave love. Blanche was the first recipient of the Golden Needle award given by the RSVP (Retired Senior Volunteer Program), sponsored by the Lowcountry Chapter of the American Red Cross. After having heart surgery, she participated in making over 2,000 cloth bags used to distribute various kinds of supplies and comfort items for the Red Cross. Her love of fishing was only surpassed by her love of her grandchildren. Memories of fishing, swimming, skiing and sailing in Lake Moultrie will always be a cherished memory by all she welcomed into her life. She was survived by her husband, John E. Bourne, Jr., of North Charleston; two daughters, Mary B. Bos (Patrick) and Carol B. Toman; a daughter-in-law, Theresa Bourne; grandchildren, H. Duncan Padgett III (Mardi), John Samuel Padgett (Shannon), Alicia Marie Callahan (David), Matthew Heath (Amy), Sarah Estrada (Rudy), Natalie Hernandez (Paul), John Benge Bourne, Kaitlin Bourne, Nicholas Bourne (Kat), and Kelli Benton; eighteen great-grandchildren; a sister, Lea Qualey; two brothers, Jason Holt (Patricia) and Jim Holt (Elva); and her 4-legged West Highland Terrier companion, Buddy. She was predeceased by a son, John E. Bourne III. Funeral services were Tuesday, May 13, 2014, in J. Henry Stuhr Inc., Northwoods Chapel. Entombment followed in Carolina Memorial Park Mausoleum.
