November 8, 1930 ~ May 30, 2012


Resided in: Pueblo, CO

Blanche L. Langowski, 81, went home to be with the Lord on May 30, 2012. Blanche was preceded in death by her husband of 49 years, Henry Langowski; parents, John and Jennie Farrell; siblings, John, Tom, Allen and Virginia. Survived by daughters, Jennie (Angelo) Montez, Lisbeth Dosen, Cynthia (Selwyn) Illick and Johnna (Tim) Morgan; grandchildren, Henry (Cheri) Montez, Cassandra (Alex) Hovet, Nicholas Morgan, Susanne and Samantha Dosen; great-grandsons, Liam David Hovet and Drew Raspberry; brothers-in-law, Ted Langowski and Robert (Sharon) Langowski; special nephew, Shelley (Charlene) Farrell; and countless nieces and nephews. Blanche's calling in life was nursing. She was a registered nurse for over 45 years. She worked in rural hospitals, office practices and finally as a homecare nurse for 25 years for Parkview Medical Center. She loved home nursing because she felt it was the heart of nursing. It allowed her to be in the patients' homes and observe their day-to-day living. Blanche was the recipient of the Frist Humanitarian Award and the Florence Nightingale Award. Her professional and loving style of nursing inspired countless nurses. As a wife and mother, Blanche's strong love of family guided her. She was the mom who would work all day and come home at night to feed her family and then go to her sewing machine to make twirling uniforms, prom dresses and matching Easter dresses for her daughters or any other thing needed. To relax on the weekends Blanche shopped and prepared Sunday dinner for as many family members as could gather. Her Sunday dinner table never had fewer than 20 people. She truly enjoyed her independence at Presbyterian Towers and the wonderful friends she made there. The family thanks Parkview Medical Center, every nurse who attended to Blanche, Sangre de Cristo Hospice and Doctors Johnson and Sloan. There will be no viewing. Cremation, Montgomery & Steward Crematorium. Memorial service, 11 a.m. Saturday, June 2, 2012, at First Church of the Nazarene, 84 Stanford Ave., with Pastor Jim Murray officiating. It was Blanche's wish that memorials be made to First Church of the Nazarene Youth Group through the church's office, 84 Stanford Ave., Pueblo, CO 81005.
