Blanche Chavarry, a retired major of The Salvation Army who dedicated her life to its ministry and community, died Wednesday after a brief illness. She was 96.
Chavarry, of Old Orchard Beach, was a volunteer at The Salvation Army’s Seaside Pavilion for nearly 20 years.
She was remembered Thursday as a kind and resilient woman who made a good pot of coffee and wasn’t afraid to say what was on her mind.
“She was a real pistol, I’ll tell ya,” said Cheryl Poulopoulos, director of the Seaside Pavilion. “She lived a very full life. You don’t get to be 96 without being a little bit stubborn. She knew what she wanted. She had a really strong faith in God.”
