Toggling the disable wifi button on the laptop keyboard did fix the
problem. Now if I close the lid and lift it the wireless is still
enabled. I still don't understand why the wifi is killed while using it.
Thanks for the help.

I then tried running
sudo rfkill unblock wlan
and then
rfkill list:

Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
1: phy0: Wireless LAN

It still shows that it's hard blocked.
Pretty sure "hard" means blocked in the hardware. A few years ago a
friend of mine had what I
recall was the same sort of issue. He fixed it by toggling the switch
on the laptop repeatedly.
Apparently it was a "sticky" problem.
