Beloved daughter of Dorothy and Sam Blancato (birth father A. Najarian). Partner of Ronald Monah. Loving mother of Micah (Laura) Monah. Sister of Ann (Dee) Blancato, Del (Milissa) Quest, Sam (Jillian) Blancato, Tom Blancato and the late Maria Blancato.

Dr. Fair leaves behind an indelible legacy of love and compassion. She will always be the dear mother of Micah, of whom she would sing praises at every opportunity. She also sang the praises of her daughter-in-law, Laura. Recently Micah married Laura and Dr. Fair achieved a great wish-come-true of attending their wedding, with Micah's father Ron.

She was a highly revered psychotherapist, specializing in trauma and PTSD for over 25 years, receiving her PhD from Duquesne University in 2015. She worked with and supervised many psychotherapists throughout the Allegheny and Washington County areas and eventually opened her own practice in Pittsburgh, helping hundreds of clients.

Dr. Fair loved animals, especially cats and dogs. She loved many cats throughout her life and she loved dogs so much she adopted ten of them, Huskies, and raced them through the snow like she was in training for the great Alaskan Iditarod. She loved the snow. She loved nature in general, probably hiking miles of Pennsylvania through every season. She said many times that nature was her religion and the place where she felt closest to the spiritual realm.

Humor was a mainstay for Dr. Fair and as anyone who knew her will share, her laugh was infectious, frequently irreverent. To make her laugh was a cherished moment. She will be mourned and missed by those who knew her and loved her.
