She will be missed by her beloved family and many friends. Survivors include three sons, David Sons and his wife Janet of Patterson, Dennis Sons of Patterson, and Darryl Sons and his wife Tammy of Panama City Beach; seven grandchildren; and eight great grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband, Horace Ivy Sons; her parents, Octave and Effie Simoneaux; one brother, Rudy Simoneaux; and one sister, Edna Wilson. In lieu of flowers the family asks that donations be made to help alleviate funeral expenses. The family would like to express their sincere appreciation for the exceptional care given to Mrs. Blanche by the staff of Morgan City Health Care Center.
