Blanche "Peachy" Demma

Aug 22 1935 - Aug 03 2016

Blanche "Peachy" Russo Demma of Plano, Texas passed away August 3, 2016, at the age of 80.  She was born August 22, 1935, to Raymond Russo and Mary Elizabeth (Klein) Russo in New Orleans, Louisiana. Blanche married Marco Demma, Sr. on November 19, 1954, in New Orleans, Louisiana. Blanche was a member of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church in Plano, Texas. She enjoyed entertaining, culinary arts, traveling, ceramics and shopping. Blanche enjoyed all of those things most when doing them with family. She and Marco worked hard to establish the roots for an exceptionally tight knit group of children and grandchildren. It wasn’t until the birth of her fifth grandchild that she was bestowed with the name "Peachy" and from there on out, she was “Peachy” to everyone she met. Blanche never met a stranger and will be loved and missed by all of those near and dear to her. 

She is survived by her children, Donna Casse and husband Chuck, Marco Demma, Jr. and wife Dee, Gary Demma, Gina DeBeer and husband Bob, Sheri Welch and husband Michael; grandchildren, Kellie Casse, Kristi Casse, Katie Casse, Ryan Casse, Marco Demma III and wife Margo, Melissa Demma, Mandy Demma, Taylor Demma, Stephen DeBeer, Robert DeBeer, Elizabeth DeBeer, Christian Welch; and five great-grandchildren.
