Mary Hough Rendall Blair
Mary Hough Rendall Blair, 89, passed away peacefully on April 26, 2021, surrounded by family and friends at her home in Vero Beach, Fla., after a two-year battle with pancreatic cancer.
Mary lived an exceptional life, and will be remembered for her wonderful friendships, enduring community spirit and amazing resilience. She was a wonderful, loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She made lifelong friends wherever she went, as a student, sailor, skier, traveler, on the beach, the golf course, and walking Jake, her beloved Bichon. She traveled the world for seven decades, attending the 1952 Olympics in Helsinki, making two trips to Antarctica and exploring all seven continents. She thrived in adventure and rarely spotted a bird she could not identify. She inspired all who knew her with a positive “can do” spirit. Her optimism was unyielding, no matter the challenges.
