She was killed in the catastrophic flash floods that so far have claimed the lives of 120 people.
They include a budding eight-year-old actress and twin sisters from Dallas.
Pastor Joshua J. Whitfield of St. Rita Catholic Community, which shares a campus with the school, said the girls’ parents, Annie and RJ Harber, were staying in a different cabin and were safe.
However, their grandparents were unaccounted for.
Annie Harber has been a long time teacher at the school.
“This tragedy has touched every corner of our hearts,” the church said in a statement on Sunday.
Blair, who was enrolled in advanced classes, was involved in numerous school activities from volleyball and basketball to speech and drama.
Brooke was a rising sixth grader and a student athlete in volleyball and lacrosse, among other sports. She also participated in speech and drama, according to the church.
Both were remembered for their kind hearts and warm personalities.
“We will honor Blair and Brooke’s lives, the light they shared, and the joy they brought to everyone who knew them,” Whitfield wrote in a Saturday letter to parishioners. “And we will surround Annie, RJ, and their extended family with the strength and support of our St. Rita community.”
The church held a special prayer service on Saturday afternoon and offered counselling.
“Please keep the Harber family in your prayers during this time of profound grief,” Whitfield wrote. “May our faith, our love, and our St. Rita community be a source of strength and comfort in the days ahead.”
