Ann B. Blair, 90 of Harriman, formerly of Maryville, passed away Wednesday, November 18, 2015 at home.
She was a very private person and never wanted anyone to take care of her except her only child, daughter Sandy. Since 1996 Sandy has devoted her life to lovingly caring for Mother, who appreciated every kindness given to her. Ann was an example of honesty, integrity, and self-respect which enabled her to love unconditionally and forgive as a child of God. After being fed ice cream, she smiled her thank you and shortly afterwards God took her in his arms and relived her of her pain.
Ann was preceded in death by her only true love, her husband, David C. Blair. While he was in training to go into World War II she worked at Ft. Leonardwood in the Officer's Hall to be close to him. While he was in World War II, she worked on the Manhattan Project at Y-12 as a supervisor. After the war, they were blessed with their only child, daughter Sandy. Ann worked as a supervisor in her later career until her personal war with cancer took over. Others preceded in death include: Parents, Ollie & Liddy Gibson; Brothers, Gene Gibson, Crowder Gibson, Earnest Gibson & Margaret; Sisters, Stella Tilley & Lee and Juanita Plemmons & Freemont.
Ann is survived by her daughter, Sandy Blair of Harriman; Brother, Freddie (Mildred) Gibson of Maryville; many nieces and nephews.
In lieu of flowers, Ann would like her loving family and friends to privately assist someone in need and bring joy to their life. Friends may call at their convenience between 10:00 AM and 1:00 PM, Tuesday, November 24, 2015 at Smith Parlor A. Sandy will be at the funeral home at 1:00 PM and at the Graveside at Grandview Cemetery at 3:00 PM.
