Born: April 22, 1924, Albany, New York
Died: August 23, 2011, Frederick, Maryland
Relation to Author: Grandmother-In-Law
Jean Adams Blake (born: Jean Place Adams) died earlier this week. We are all very sad at the loss and miss her already. However, we are comforted by the fact that she lived to watch her 8 grandchildren grow-up and to meet her great-grandson, Eamon Blake Cheney in July.
In the future, I hope to have some posts remembering Jean Blake, but in the meantime, here is her obituary from the Frederick News Post (published Wednesday, August 24 2011).
Mrs. Jean Adams Blake, 87, died of a stroke on August 23, 2011, at Frederick Memorial Hospital. Her husband, John Blake, preceded her in death in 2006. She is survived by four children and their spouses: Catherine Blake and Frank Eisenberg; John Blake and Bette Loiselle; Ann Blake and Ian MacDonald; Jim and Nancy Blake. She is also survived by eight grandchildren and one great-grandchild [Eamon Blake Cheney].
Born on April 22, 1924, in New York, Jean Blake graduated from Vassar in 1945 and was married on April 2, 1949. She lived in Washington D.C. for many years, where she worked at the Naval Observatory before retiring with her husband to a tree farm near Wolfsville. In 2005 she moved to the Buckingham's Choice retirement community near Buckeystown.
Memorial services will be private. Donations may be sent to the Residents Assistance Fund at Buckingham's Choice, 3200 Baker Circle, Adamstown, MD 21710.
