Virgie was born December 17, 1945, to Virgil and Betty (Schwarz) Johnson in Fort Dodge, Iowa. She later married Roger Blair on February 4, 1977. They eventually made their home in Ankeny where they raised their family.
Kay had a friendly and sincere smile. She offered lots of love and laughter as well as advice and wisdom to those she loved. She became known to many as “Grandma Kay” over the years to friends that became like family to her.
Kay loved baking and she is well known for her pumpkin bars and filled cupcakes. She enjoyed sewing and embroidering - her homemade gifts were the best. She was always up for the challenge of finding a good sale while shopping. Reading and computer games were some of her other favorite past times.
Her true passion was for her family. She loved Dad dearly and that was evident to those around them. She enjoyed spending time with her kids but her face would light up when her grandkids were around. She loved going to their sporting events and activities to cheer them on. We enjoyed many family vacations whether it be fishing in Minnesota or our last “staycation” which was a huge hit with her.
Kay is survived by her loving husband, Roger; children, Rand (Kelly) Blair, Trevi (Jason) Sandin and Andrea (Bill) Bingaman, Robin Deaton; grandchildren, Brandon, Connor, Brinley, Brody, Bella, Jack, Audrey and Troy.
Kay is preceded in death by her parents, Virgil and Betty Johnson as well as her siblings, Rea Hawxby, Roger Johnson and Judy Morris.
She will be missed dearly but we will carry her in our hearts forever.
