She was raised in Palouse and graduated from Palouse High School in 1941. While in high school, she fell in love with her future husband, Cyrus Edward Blair. After high school, Ed went into the service and Jean went off to work in the Portland shipyards and later at Fairchild Air Force Base in Spokane. Following Ed's stint in the service, the couple was married Nov. 19, 1945. After marriage, they settled in Palouse and raised five children, Doug, Mike, Steve, Glenna and Dixie. When the kids went off to school, Jean started work at Washington State University in housing and stayed there until her retirement 26 years later. Jean loved her job and WSU. In retirement, Ed and Jean traveled in their motor home, which included a trip up the ALCAN Highway. They made their winter home and eventually permanent home in Surprise at the Sunflower Resort, where they both stayed busy with friends and activities. Jean was very crafty; she loved to sew, knit, crochet and bead. Many friends and family were blessed with her articles of craft. She spent many hours teaching 4-H members, her children, and grandchildren her crafts. After moving to Arizona, she found a new craft in computers. She was a member of the Sunflower Resort's Computer Club and she volunteered her time at the resort office. Jean enjoyed traveling and the history of the areas she traveled. One of her greatest travels was a three-week trip to China with her sister. Over the past few years, Jean found a new hobby in genealogy; she spent many hours finding new family members and even connected with a few. She was also a member of the American Women's Auxiliary for World War II. Jean was well known for her loving toughness, and "matter of fact" type of attitude. She enjoyed reminiscing with friends and loved her family tremendously. Ed and Jean had a good long life together enjoying family and friends. The family would like to give huge thanks to Jean/Mom/Grandma for all of your love and encouragement over the many years; you have been such an instrumental part in making us all who we are today. Survivors names omitted per findagrave policy. Jean was preceded in death by her parents and brother, Gale (Blackie) Davis. Kramer Funeral Home
