Gertrude Mary Blaskie, age 84, of Bronson, Mich., died early Monday morning, June 8, 2009, at the home of her sister Genevieve in Burr Oak where she had been staying due to her illness. Gertrude was born March 25, 1925, in Sherwood, a daughter of Peter and Julia (Francisco) Blaskie and a lifelong area resident. She graduated from Bronson High School in 1944, a few weeks after beginning her first job at the former Peoples State Bank of Bronson.

At the time of her retirement on June 30, 1989, after a 45-year career, Gertrude was the bank’s customer service representative, handling new accounts, purchases of certificates of deposit and many other customer related functions. Gertrude was an active member of St. Mary of Assumption Catholic Church in Bronson where she served on several committees over the years, and she was a member of the Sacred Heart Society. She was a long-time member, treasurer and past president of the American Business Women’s Association and had served for several years on the Board of Directors of the former Bronson Community Chest.  She was honored as Polish Festival Queen in 1984. She enjoyed reading, sewing and gardening in her spare time. Surviving are her brothers, Theodore Blaskie of Seattle, Wash., Raymond Blaskie of Florida and Leon Blaskie of San Angelo, Texas; her sisters, Genevieve Cadman and Theresa Grossman, both of Burr Oak, and Angeline Tierney of Elkhart, Ind.; and numerous nieces and nephews.  The Funeral Mass will be held at 10:30 a.m. Thursday at St. Mary of Assumption Catholic Church in Bronson with Rev.
