She stated the secret to her longevity to be, “to let a happy smile more noticeable than snow-white hair and to let an enthusiastic attitude on life overshadow wrinkled hands and a slowed pace in walking.”
In June 1977, she became the first known female supercentenarian in Louisiana, USA, after celebrating her 110th birthday. Sadly, two years later, Blanchet passed away on 9 November 1979 at Iberia Parish General Hospital. She was 112 years and 154 days old at the time of her death.
