She was preceded in death by her father Melvin K. Lakey of Pasco and her

She was born in Pasco at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital on April 19, 1951 to
Melvin & Isabelle Lakey. She attended school in the Tri-Cities and graduated
from Kennewick High in 1969. She married her high school sweetheart of
two years Michael J. Blair in August of 1969. They then moved to Norfolk,
Virginia where Mike was stationed during his time in the United States
Navy. They returned to the Tri-Cities and resided in Kennewick to raise
a family which was her pride and joy. She always took a great interest in
her children's activities during their school years, and throughout their
lives. Glenda didn't go to work until both her children had graduated from
high school. She worked as a medical coder and biller for private physician's
offices from 1992 till she retired in 2010.

She took great pride in being a wife, a mother, and homemaker taking care
of her family. She loved and enjoyed the outdoors and camping with family
and friends, and football. She was very talented in the arts and crafts
from crocheting, jewelry making, and cross stich embroidery. She was a
devoted member of her church.

Glenda & Mike had just celebrated their 45th wedding anniversary on August
10th of this year, and they were looking forward to many more years together,
though the Lord had other plans.
