Deborah Blair Obituary
She was an avid painter/artist and enjoyed a variety of hobbies including growing orchids. She loved entertaining and spending time with family, friends and her three Newfoundlands who she referred to as her "babies." She was incredibly proud of her son, Clayton, and couldn't wait for his visits from his home in Seattle, WA.
She is survived by her husband, James Garry; son, Clayton O. Blair; brother Dale "Rick" Grisham (Donna); and nephew, Jake Grisham; and niece, Jordan Grisham.
A Celebration of Life reception will be held Thursday, January 18, 2024 at Pyro Gallery in Butchertown, KY, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Expressions of Sympathy can be made to Hosparus of Louisville or American Diabetes. Donations only, flowers will not be accepted.
