Mary Blair Johnson died peacefully at her home, with family by her side, in Sarasota, FL, on Wednesday, October 12, at the age of 76, after a brief illness. Mary was born on January 1, 1940 in Paisley, Scotland, to her parents, Mary Martin and Charles Blair. She and her family moved to Kearney, NJ in 1948 where she grew up. Mary was a generous, witty, and passionate woman who loved her family, friends and Westie terriers, Bonnie and Ian, without abandon.

Her late husband, Lyman Anders Johnson, precedes her in death.
