Lewis Funeral Home

She died on April 2, 2019, at the age of 93. Today April 2, 2019 I am still Dorothy Mae Blair. I was born in Swampoodle, North Philadelphia in a back bedroom on 28th and Lehigh Ave. My mom told me the beautiful, white Catalpa blooms appeared every year on my birthday. I had a super education thanks to Simon Gratz High School. We had dedicated teachers and smart student friendships. In a nutshell, I was married to Luther Burton Blair and had two sons William Burton Blair and Charles Thomas Blair. I was blessed with a small but unbelievably loving family. Mother, Mom-Mom and two uncles, Thomas Staller Edwards and The Reverend William I. Edwards, both living saints and a loving mother. I am survived by one son: Charles Thomas Blair, 3 grandchildren: Charles Thomas Blair Jr., Andrea Ali, and William Barger, 7 great-grandchildren: Isabel, Christian, Mohamed, Mariam, Jamie, and Michael and great great-granddaughter Lily. Predeaseced by my Son William Blair and my granddaughter Jenny Walter. My interests through life were mainly my Anglo-Catholic upbringing, church, friendships, my career of 43 years with Philadelphia Housing Authority, animals, art, theatre, movies, crossword puzzles, travel, home decorating, collecting treasurers of beauty and my house in Brigantine. I leave this earth with so much unfinished business as I took care of my family as my top priority. Never got the chance to write my "Book." Really!!
