Blanche E. Cupit, 77, passed from this life on Monday, March 22, 2021, at her home in Liberty, Texas surrounded by loved ones. Blanche was born October 15, 1943, in Hardin, Texas. She attended Hardin High School and graduated in 1962, before beginning her career as a banker with First State Bank of Liberty, where she held several positions. In the early 1980s, Blanche transferred to First National Bank of Dayton and later retired as a vice president in 2002.
Blanche was preceded in death by her parents Clifford and Laura Shauberger; brothers Eugene, Gleason, James, and Donald Ray Shauberger; sisters Gertrude Ainsworth and Letha Rives; and son Jason Hargraves.

Blanche made many friends during her life, including her best friend, Linda Swearingen. Always cheerful with a contagious laugh, Blanche never met a stranger and, if you became her friend, you became family.

Blanche will be missed by all who knew and loved her.
