Fusako Goto Blankas Obituary (1923

After complications from Double-Bypass Heart Surgery and Kidney Dialysis, our cherished Mother and Grandmother passed away November 21, 2010 at VMMC, surrounded by her children. Fusako was born in Fukuoka Japan, married Pio Blankas Sr. in 1955 and started her married life in Seattle, WA. She worked for many years at Farwest Garments as an inspector and retired from Furon, where she applied foam insulation to airplane parts. Predeceased by husband Pio Sr. in 2001 and son Pio Jr. in 2003, Fusako is survived by daughters Jeanette Blankas Clayton (John) and May Blankas-Chin (Chongkin) and grandchildren Chelsea and Derrick Chin. Our family appreciates the years of medical care by her team of Group Health doctors and we are grateful for the heroic efforts by the Cardiology and Critical Care Units at Virginia Mason Medical Center but we especially appreciate the loving hands of the CCU Nurses throughout her final days at VMMC. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Virgina Mason Critical Care Unit. A celebration of Fusako's life will be held at a future time. Arrangements Columbia Funeral Home.
