Blanche London was born December 26, 1920, and at 103 years of age, she is still vibrant, has a mischievous sense of humor, and is loved by all who know her, according to her daughter, Marva Jones. She gathered for a photo recently with Rick and Pearl Jones, Palm Coast United Methodist Church pastor Dr. Kevin James and Marva Jones.
Marva, wrote of her mother: "She was raised in the church and is a devout Christian. When she was very young, Blanche learned to play the piano. As a child, she played for the church.
"In the early 1940s, she began a career as an entertainer with her husband, Sim London. They played the same piano at the same time and were professionally known as 'Mr. and Mrs. 88 Keys.'
"After retiring, she played for her church in Cleveland for over 30 years.
"She has been a resident of Palm Coast since 2012 and is a proud member of Palm Coast United Methodist Church. She loves Pastor Kevin and her church family!
"Mom still loves fashion and regularly gets pedicures and her nails done. She is the mother of two (Marva Jones and the late Sim London Jr.) and has four grandchildren: James, Heather and Dorian McMillan and Sim London III.
"She is now a resident of Sophia’s Choice Assisted Living and receives excellent care."
