She was the first child born to Patti and Randy Blair. She was preceded in death by her younger sister, Noel Blair, and her brother Spencer Blair. She is survived by her parents, uncles, aunt and cousins and many friends and acquaintances. She will be dearly missed by all.
An off and on resident of San Jose and San Francisco, she attended Carden Elementary, Presentation HS (class of 1988), attended UC Davis graduating in 1993.
Having gone through 4 surgeries, chemo and radiation, her condition was compromised to the point she was unable to work any longer. For a short time she did volunteer work. Her positive attitude in dealing with this diagnosis, sustained her through the worst of the treatments and the pain.
She loved to travel: Paris, Belgium, Prague, Italy and various locations in the USA. Much time recovering after the surgeries was spent in her beloved Maui with her parents.
A special thanks to the teams at UCSF Neuro/Surgery and Oncology, Indian Health and the gentle care of Suncrest Hospice. A shout-out to nurse Skyler and her caretaker Leah for the dedicated care and advice in the later years of her care.
