Obituary of Blanca Chavez

Blanca Jacinta Chavez of Canarise Brooklyn, NY passed away at Mt. Sinai Hospital in Brooklyn on April 30, 2020. She was 90 years old.

Born on August 16, 1929 in Guayaquil, Ecuador, she worked as a legal secretary. Blanca was happily married 65 years to her beloved husband Raul.
