Sarah Blair Obituary
SARAH ROBIN (WILLIAMS) BLAIR
April 6, 1945 â€" November 29, 2022
Robin left our sight but never our hearts on November 29, 2022 at the age of 77. She was the center of our family, revered by her community, and had lead a rich and love-filled life.
Robin was born in Oceana, Virginia to Francis "Bill" and Sarah "Sally" Williams, little sister to Tony. She had a joyous childhood on the shore of the Atlantic Ocean, lived in Richmond for a time where she was a cheerleader and a Homecoming Princess at Douglas Freeman High School and later settled in Alexandria where she raised a family.
As a well-respected school counselor at MacArthur Elementary, Robin founded The Peace Club, a conflict resolution group for kids, and promoted good character as her costumed alter ego Countess Character.
In retirement, Robin became certified as a hypnotherapist and opened a therapeutic practice in Del Ray. She was also an ardent volunteer in Alexandria, VA, donating her time and skills to charitable organizations including Alive House, Together We Bake, Space Of Her Own, Community Housing, and serving on the board of directors for Campagna Center. Helping others however she could was her driving purpose.
At the age of 65, Robin walked the Camino de Santiago, a five-week solo pilgrimage through the mountains of Spain. She later wrote a book about her experience, "Musings Along The Way." She was an adventurous spiritual seeker and this Camino journey exemplified her fearlessness and appetite for meaningful experience.
Robin was an steadfast and fun-loving partner to Bill for fifty lively years of marriage. She was a loving, encouraging mother to her sons Macon, Brooke, and Will. She was an endearing mother-in-law to Lee, Tirzah, and Liz. She was a devoted grandmother to Buck, Kieran, Sonny and Oli, who all call her Wabi. And she was a caring, invested, and delightful friend, aunt, cousin and niece to many others, all of whom have felt the loss of her passing and the gift of her life over this last year.
