Blanche A. Bianco

Blanche A. Bianco, of Milltown, passed away Tuesday November 30, 2021 at Parker at Somerset. She was 98 years young. Born in Jersey City, she lived in Milltown most of her life. Blanche was a loving Wife, Mother, Aunt, Grandmother, Sister and Dear Friend.


Blanche worked for Personnel Products, a division of Johnson & Johnson for 10 years. After her beloved husband Charles passed in 1971, she worked for many more years at a variety of jobs including, Kimber Business Machines, Dr. Santangelo in Somerset, volunteered at Roosevelt Nursing Home, and loved her job as a greeter at Walmart while in her 80s. Blanche was also proud of her work on the Milltown Arts and Cultural Committee.


Lovingly known as "Nanny B' to so many, Blanche's work at raising her family and grandchildren has left a wonderful, loving and lasting impact from a woman from "the greatest generation". Blanche was very religious, famous for wearing her hats to church, a fabulous cook, very generous, intelligent and organized, and head of household for many, many years. Family was the most important thing to her, and the morals and values and work ethic she instilled, will be her legacy. She was a strong, positive, vibrant woman, funny and exuberant.


She was pre-deceased by her loving husband Charles in 1971and lived another 50 years. She will be sorely missed by her family and friends. She leaves behind a legacy of strong work ethic passed on to her children, and has taught us how to navigate life.


Surviving is her daughter Maria A. Robins of Milltown; her son Charles "Chuck" Bianco and his wife Coleen of Milltown; her grandchildren Charlie Bianco, Ali Bianco and Carla Sophia Robins and many loving nieces, nephews, very close cousins.

The family wishes to thank all the nurses, staff, aids and hospice care at Parker at Somerset.
