Blanche (Kopacek) Paca, 90, of Britt passed away Tuesday, August 2, 2005, at Westview Care Center in Britt. Blanche was born to Frank and Elizabeth (Kudej) Kopacek on September 20, 1914, on a farm outside of Britt, Iowa.  She married William Paca on November 21, 1933.  They farmed near Duncan, Iowa until 1974, when they moved to Garner.  William died in 1981.  In 1995, Blanche became a resident of Westview Care Center in Britt when the effects of Alzheimer's diminished her recognition and memories of her dear friends and the family that she loved. Blanche enjoyed baking, bowling, gardening, playing cards and making quilts for her grandchildren.  Her greatest joy came from her family especially her grandbabies and great-grandbabies.  Blanche was a member of the Catholic Daughters of the Americas and the Catholic Workmen.
