Mildred Blanton Pinyan, Canton, GA – A Community Mourns a Beloved Matriarch

Mildred Blanton Pinyan, Canton, GA—It is with heavy hearts that the family of Mildred Blanton Pinyan shares the sad news of her passing on October 9th, just before her 96th birthday. Mildred’s life was marked by love, warmth, and an unwavering commitment to her family and community. Her family, including her daughter Yvonne, son-in-law Allen, and grandson Alexander, cared for her in her final months, ensuring she was surrounded by the love that defined her life.

Mildred’s passing has left a profound void, and the financial strain from her hospice care has added an additional burden for the family. Hospice care, which was not fully covered by Medicare or the VA, cost her family $12,000 per month, a significant expense for her loved ones, who are on a fixed income.

To help ease this burden, a fundraiser organized by Kayla Diehl and Alex Bryant has been established. Donations are helping to cover the medical expenses and funeral costs that exceed what her burial insurance could cover. While the financial goal may not fully alleviate all costs, every donation has been met with deep gratitude from the family.

In a heartfelt Facebook post, Alex Bryant shared, “Many of you have asked what you could do to help out my family or if there was anything we needed in the wake of my grandmother’s passing – well, this is what we need.” His message echoed the overwhelming support the family has already received from the community.

Maria Flores Blackburn wrote, "Thinking of you and your family. I wish I could have stopped by to offer my condolences in person." Her message, along with others, highlights the outpouring of love from those whose lives were touched by Mildred.

As the community rallies around her family, Mildred’s legacy of kindness, faith, and community spirit continues to shine. Her decades of organizing bluegrass festivals with her late husband Bob, often for the benefit of others in need, are fondly remembered by all who knew her.

The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to all who have supported them during this challenging time. "Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness, prayers, and support during this difficult time," they shared.

We extend our deepest condolences to the family of Mildred Blanton Pinyan. Our thoughts and prayers are with you as you navigate this time of grief and remembrance.
