Patricia Rettig formerly Mrs. Blanchard was born on November 3, 1954. Grew up Downtown Jersey City. Attended St. LucyÕs Catholic school. With 13 brothers and sisters, stability was non-existent.
The sixth child born of fourteen, suffered physical and mental abuse at the hands of my mother and siblings. As an adult, unable to break the chain of abuse. I found myself in one abusive relationship after another. As a single parent of three I had no support from the childrenÕs father. Desperate and alone I knew it would be solely up to me to support my children. I started cleaning houses for strangers, which led to my successful cleaning business I called Blue Ribbon Cleaning Service. I went on to help my daughter, Actress Tammy Blanchard fulfill her goal in an acting career. With my youngest in college and Tammy off in Hollywood, I decided it was time for change. I turned my cleaning business over to my younger sister.
