Blair Sedija Gifford

She was a charismatic, gentle child whose main goal in life was to love. She was a 4th grade student at Alcoa Intermediate School where she spent much time cheering and making friends. She was a child who loved all things art and making people smile. On a normal day, you’d find her crafting, dancing or praising Jesus. She loved the Lord and poured herself into what following Jesus meant, including getting baptized in front of her family, friends and community on April of 2022. To know her is a blessing. She touched the lives of many around the world.

Blair was preceded in passing by her father Blake, her grandfather Carl and her great-grandmother Laura. She is survived by her mother Mirsada, step-father Tyler, sister Quinn and many grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.

The family will honor Blair with a celebration of life held at Foothills Church Maryville, 1551 W. Lamar Alexander Parkway, Maryville, TN 37801 on Thursday, January 12, 2023 at 6:30pm, with Pastor Trent Stewart to officiate the service.
