Amelia "Amy" was born on August 1, 1937 in Gonzalez, Texas to Herman and Clara. She graduated from Ball High School in Galveston, Texas in 1956. She faithfully supported her husband, Jim Blair, through his long service with the United States Coast Guard. They were happily married for over 57 years. After Jim's retirement from the Coast Guard, they moved back to Shiner, Texas, where Amy was the director of Shiner's senior citizen center and also helped Jim run their electronics store. She was an active member of Chapel Hill Baptist Church for many years. Her devotion for Christ always drove her to serve others, especially through her numerous recipes which were all cooked with love. God saw fit to call her to her Heavenly home on Easter, which serves as a great reminder that she is now spending eternity with Him.

Throughout her life, she was passionate about sports-especially when her grandkids played-as well as cheering on the Alabama Crimson Tide. She enjoyed bowling, playing dominos, and spending time with her family. She was a loving and devoted daughter, sister, wife, mother, "Grandmommy," aunt, and friend.

Pallbearers will be Joe Fendley, Greg Rubio, Chuck Pittman, Tyler Blair, and Brady Giles.

Honorary pallbearers are Amy's Sunday School class, members of the WINGS ministry at Chapel Hill, and George and Melissa Hassell.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Hemophilia and Bleeding Disorders of Alabama (www.hbda.us), Chapel Hill Baptist Church, or a charity of your choice.
