DEBRA MAUREEN BLAIR Debra Maureen Blair, at her residence in Cambridge, ON, on Friday, January 23, 2004, aged 49 years.
Born in Winnipeg Deb embodied the spirit of the prairies. The long low horizons ever beckoned her while anchoring her to a place called home. Deb achieved her BA Honours in Womens Studies, securing the Governor Generals Gold medal in academic achievement at the University of Winnipeg. Deb took on the challenges of being a homemaker and mother while traversing the corporate waters of a Human Resources Management career. Deb is survived by the memories carried in the hearts and whispered on the wind of her spouse Mona Katawne, her daughter Vida Katawne; her brothers, Ken Blair and David Blair; sisters Cindy Cleland and Diane Chatelaine; her father Bob Blair and a loving and supportive blood and extended family and circle of friends. Predeceased by her mother Lila Blair (1999). A service remembering Debras life will be celebrated at St. Augustine Church at 444 River St. on February 3 at 4:30 p.m. A small reception will follow. As expressions of sympathy donations may be made to Hopesprings Cancer Support, 43 Allen St., Waterloo, ON.

Condolences & Memories (2 entries)

  • You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees For a hundred miles through the desert, repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves. Tell me about your despair, yours, and I will tell you mine. Meanwhile the world goes on. Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain are moving across the landscapes, over the prairies and the deep trees, the mountains and the rivers. Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air, are heading home again. Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting -- over and over announcing your place in the family of things. - Posted by: Mona Katawne (Wife) on: Jan 23, 2014

  • You said that this was not the future you would have chosen but accepted that it wasn't your choice to make. We haven't forgotten you dear sister and aunty. We love you and miss you to this day, which is not the future we would have chosen either but we have learned to accept. - Posted by: Cindy Blair (Sister) on: Feb 23, 2012
