Kreutzian, Blanche (Lais) Born March 10, 1920 passed away August 11, 2018 at the age of 98. Long-time resident of North Minneapolis. Preceded in death by husband Earl Kreutzian; brothers Robert and George Lais; sister Valma (Lais) Ulmer. Survived by daughters Kathleen (Westby) Kasprick (Lyle), Karen Van Slyke; beloved grandchildren Kristin (Westby) Gleeman, Chas Van Slyke, and Rhett Van Slyke and their families. Blanche, always a lady, was disciplined, faithful, quiet and unassuming. Faith and family were her life. Never aspiring to a career, she none the less became one of the first women to work in the trucking transportation field for a local hardware distribution company. She was held in high regard by truckers and management. She leaves us a legacy of living and aging with dignity and grace. She is greatly missed. Mass of Christian Burial was Tuesday, August 14 at the Church of St. Raphael, 7301 Bass Lake Road, Crystal. Interment Resurrection Cemetery. Memorials can be made to the The MS Achievement Center, St. Paul or St. Therese at St. Odilia, Shoreview, MN. Washburn-McReavy.com Glen Haven Chapel 763-533-8643
