Blaser.  She is survived by 8 nieces and nephews, 18 grandnieces and grandnephews, and 18 great-grandnieces and great-grandnephews.  She adored her family and loved her nieces and nephews like they were her own children.  She kept up with the news on everyone and had each and every birthday committed to memory.  She is also survived by many dear friends.
