Blondell Cummings (1944 - 2015)

I knew Blondell. I met her in about 2008, which was the year that we both joined the same women's social group. I always wanted to interview her for marjorie-digest, but Blondell was shy and modest about her many accomplishments and very interesting life.

I lost touch with Blondell in about 2012.... but I would think of her from time to time and remember pieces of the great conversations we had on so many different topics. I learned today that she passed away last year and there was a memorial for her last October that can be viewed on YouTube.

Rest in peace, Blondell. I only knew you a short time, but you truly possessed great gifts and had a wonderful spirit.

Blondell Cummings, dancer and choreographer, in 1991. 

The National Endowment for the Arts designated one of her works, “Chicken Soup,” 

as an American masterpiece in 2006.
