She married Jerrold St. Clair on June 29, 1980. Michele worked as a medical secretary at Pen Bay Medical Center for 35 years. She enjoyed relaxing by the campfire, dancing, gardening, shopping, and most of all spending time with her family. She never missed her grandchildren’s sports events, especially her grandson’s hockey games. She was always the loudest fan cheering in the crowd while ringing her cowbell.
She was so full of love. She had the most positive spirit, encouraging and supporting everyone in her path. She was extremely generous and made friends everywhere she went. She was known for giving the best hugs as well as being a bit of a klutz. She rarely went anywhere without her hair and nails done perfectly.
She was known by her family and close friends as Dem. This was the name her oldest grandson called her when he was first able to speak, and it stuck ever since. She also had a nickname of “Mush” her siblings and friends gave her growing up.
She is survived by her husband, Jerry of Rockport. Her daughter Alecia and husband Michael Robitaille and children Logan, Lucas, and Landen of Waldoboro, daughter Pamela and husband Aaron Chandler of Wiscasset. A sister Deborah and husband Steven Marquis of Bowdoin and her brother Stephen Hodgkins and his wife Kate of Harpswell and several nieces and nephews.
