Blanche Baudhuin, a long-time volunteer for the American Red Cross in Northeast Wisconsin, has passed away. She was 101 years old.

Blanche volunteered for more than 40 years at the Deckner Center as a registration volunteer. She also helped at many blood drives as well, the Red Cross said.

She passed away Monday evening, according to the Red Cross.

A blood drive was held in honor of Blanche's birthday in March. 

"I enjoy the people," Blanche told NBC26 before that blood drive. "I enjoy sitting at the desk and visiting with the people when they come in."

No funeral arrangements have been made yet.
