With sincere compassion and concern, the Majestic Family stands hand in hand with the relatives of Mr. Winston Blanks as they prepare to celebrate his lasting legacy. Mr. Blanks transitioned into eternal rest on Tuesday morning at Brunswick Cove Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Winnabow, NC.
An intimate and meaningful Service of Remembrance for Mr. Blanks will take place on Friday at 1pm at Graham Chapel AME Zion Church in Riegelwood, NC. Mr. Blanks’ physical temple will lie in repose in the main sanctuary of the church from 12noon until 1pm for those who wish to visit with him prior to the formal life honoring service. During these moments, each participant and attendee can reflect on the fond memories of Mr. Winston and console his loving relatives as they say “farewell” to such a special part of their family. Following the services in the sanctuary, Mr. Blanks and his cherished family will be escorted to the church cemetery for Committal Rites.
