Myrtle Blair THE WOODLANDS - Myrtle Blair, 96, died Wednesday, April 12, 2006.
Memorial services will be at 10 a.m. today in First Baptist Church of The
Woodlands with Dr. Pete Freeman, her pastor, officiating. Arrangements are by
Metcalf Funeral Home in Conroe. Graveside services are pending in Borger,
where she will be buried next to her beloved Floyd. 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.
