Barbara (Stimple) Blair

Barbara Blair,  Age 82, died on Tuesday, June 2, 2026 in Pittsburgh. Barbara leaves behind her son Doug (Mary Ann), brother James (Rosanne), grandson Nicholas, and various delightful nieces and nephews. She was a fan of wildlife, the Steelers, Pittsburgh rare steaks, and strong martinis - in no particular order. Her sarcastic sense of humor hid a generous heart. She was a divorced mom when it was scandalous, anti-racist before the term was invented, an excellent seamstress, prolific with a crochet needle, and famously lavish with the hundreds of dozens of Christmas cookies she baked for friends and family all her adult life. Bud and Grace are proud. Family and friends shall be received to celebrate her life on Saturday, June 13, 2026 from 10am until the noon service at Ball Funeral Chapel, Inc., 600 Dunster St., Pittsburgh, PA. 412-343-1506 or Ballfc.com
