Olivia Gale, precious child of God, beloved daughter, and ray of joy to all who knew her, lived
life abundantly and with great excitement each day. With great love for the outdoors, trips on the
boat with family and friends, and snuggling her puppy dogs, she was always ready for a fun
adventure. She could often be found in princess attire with an emphasis on her own make-up
designs or eating delicious popsicles or Kit Kat bars. She was full of love specifically for her
mommy and daddy and all of her siblings. Olivia’s radiant smile brought joy to everyone who
was honored enough to know her.

Olivia is survived by her loving parents, Chas and Shanna Blanford; siblings: Hope Blanford,
Riley Kraemer, Landon Blanford, and Gracelyn Price; grandmother, Marcia Thompson Eldreth;
grandfather, Leon Kraemer; Aunts: Amanda Barnett Rimmer (Jason), Rebecca Barnett Webb
(Keven), and Amy Barnett Frey (Marc); Uncles: Leon Kraemer (Sylvia), and Timothy Kraemer
(Laura); and many cousins. She is preceded in death by her grandmother, Gale Kraemer;
grandfather, Larry Blanford; and great-grandfather, Charles Thompson.

A celebration of life will be open to friends and family on Monday, September 15, 2025, at
11:00AM at Pleasant View Baptist Church, 150 Downin Lane, Port Deposit, MD 21904, with an
official service beginning at 1:00PM. A burial will be held immediately following the service at
Brookview Cemetery in Rising Sun, MD. A time of food and fellowship will be held at Pleasant
View Baptist Church following the burial services. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can
be made payable to “Olivia Blanford Memorial Fund” and sent in care of R.T. Foard Funeral
Home, P.A., PO Box 248 Rising Sun, MD, 21911.
