Sherri Blair was a kind and thoughtful person who wanted to make sure that all people was treated fair especially when seeking housing without discrimination. She served faithfully as a Board Member of the Savannah-Chatham Fair Housing Council. She often expressed her concerns about discrimitory practices that exist in Chatham County and encouraged staff and other Board Members to fight diligently to help eliminate such practices, at least in our community. Ms. Blair was special and will be missed by all of us on the Fair Housing Council. Our prayers go with her family.
