Judith R. (Miller) Blair, age 75, a resident of Bloomingdale, IL slipped into Heaven on Thursday, 1 February 2018. She was born in Chicago, IL on 14 September 1942.

Judie worked for the Federal Government as a clerk typist for 30 years. She enjoys reading, crocheting, watching classic movies, musicals and loves children. Judie had a way of making people feel good when she was around them. She believed that a person needs 8 hugs a day to survive. Her smile was contagious, her joyful and positive attitude inspiring even through all she went through. Judie was a great encourager, listener, loving wife, mother and friend. We are all blessed by her love and warmth that she gave us all these years. We rejoice with her that she is in Heaven with God and has her new body and is not in pain anymore.

Judie is survived by her loving, supporting husband of 52 years William J. Blair; two daughters, Barbara A. (Scott) Laing and Judi A. (David) Kernica; four grandchildren, Irene C. (Justin) Thompkins, Nathan C. Kernica, Hannah A. Laing and Naomi N. Kernica; and one sister, Karen M. (Edward) Spearing.

She was preceded in death by her parents, John R. Miller (father) and Naomi D. (Allen) (Miller) Hooper (mother).
