wikipedia notes: Blanche was sentenced to ten years in prison for her part in the Joplin shootout, where the two officers had been killed. She served six years and received state-of-the-art medical treatment for her left eye, which was pierced with glass during the gang's flight from the Platte City tourist court, although she eventually lost all sight in the eye.
Following her release from prison, Blanche Barrow moved to Dallas, Texas. She was remarried in 1940 to Eddie Frasure. One year later, she completed her parole. In 1965, the couple adopted a 12-year-old boy named Ricky, from whom she later became estranged owing to his legal troubles.[1] Eddie died in 1969, and Blanche died from cancer on 24 December 1988, a little over a week away from her 78th birthday. She was buried in Dallas's Grove Hill Memorial Park under the name "Blanche B. Frasure".[2] Her memoirs, My Life With Bonnie and Clyde, were published in 2004
