Blanche R. Rains' Obituary
Blanche Rosemary Rains, our beloved and beautiful mom,
grandma, aunt, relative and friend, flew into the arms of Jesus
early Sunday morning July 22, 2018. We rejoice with the
angels but grieve for the loss of her amazing loving presence,
genuine care and powerful prayer ministry.
Born March 8, 1931 to Ralph and Myrtle Logan in Tacoma WA.
She was raised in a loving family of seven and married at 17 to
Buddie B. Rains in May of 1948. She lived a life of passion,
endurance, humility and grace. She and "Bud" made countless
moves traveling throughout the country living Bud's true west
cowboy lifestyle with their five children. A moving and
adventuresome book with tale after tale still to be written.
Well done good and faithful servant indeed. She fought the
ravages of rheumatoid arthritis that never offered her a break
for close to sixty years. She ran the race with courage and won.
Her faith never wavered, she knew victory was in Jesus.
