Myrtle Blair, known to her family as "Mom Blair," and to her friends as "Butch," passed away Wednesday at her home at The Forum in The Woodlands. She was 96 years young. Born in 1909 in Delhi, Okla., Myrtle Blair followed her husband to the oil fields of the Texas Panhandle, where they made a home in the Huber carbon black camp in Borger. Her husband, Floyd Blair, preceded her in death in 1969, and she never remarried.
She moved to Montgomery County in 1995 to be near her family, and lived independently until her death.
Survivors include a sister, Annie Mae "Dutch" Robertson of Erick, Okla.; her only child, Jimmy Don Blair, and wife Nelda Luce Blair; and her only grandchild, Maris Ann Harkins, and husband Bradley Harkins, all of Montgomery County.
Visitation with the family will be at the funeral home in Conroe.
The family suggests memorials be in memory of Myrtle Blair to the American Heart Association, Montgomery County Chapter, in care of P.O. Box 7652, The Woodlands, TX 77385.
