Roy Campbell St.Clair

NAPLES – Roy Campbell St.Clair, 92, of Naples, (formerly of Portland) passed on Friday Oct. 18, 2024 at his home overlooking Sebago Lake. Roy left quite a legacy in both his personal and professional lives.

Roy was born in Portland in 1932. He graduated from Deering High School in 1950 and the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy in 1954. After graduating college, he served in the Army at Fort Meade, Md. Roy married his high school sweetheart, Louise Young on New Year’s Eve 1954. After his honorable discharge, Louise and Roy returned to Portland.

Roy became part of the fabric of Libbytown when he and his family opened St.Clair’s Pharmacy in the early 1960s at Westgate Shopping Center. The drugstore’s lunch counter was a local gathering spot, and the store employed many folks from the neighborhood.

Roy’s career as a pharmacist spanned more than 50 years. Roy was the youngest pharmacist in the State of Maine at the age of 25 and concluded his career as the oldest practicing pharmacist at the age of 78. During this time, he served as President of the Maine Pharmaceutical Association, was an Executive Board Member of the Osteopathic Hospital of Maine and was part of a group that developed a network of group homes for disabled individuals to live independently. In retirement, Roy volunteered for RTP and Bridgton Community Center serving meals to the elderly.

Roy and Louise built family memories through large holiday gatherings, travelling, skiing at Mt. Abram, RV-ing, and sailing on Casco Bay. Roy’s most cherished time was spent at the family compound on Sebago Lake, surrounded by generations of family and friends.

After Louise’s passing, Roy married Jeanie Demaree and together they created a community of friends at Thompson’s Point in Naples.

Roy was predeceased by his wife, Louise Y. St.Clair who passed away on Dec. 31, 2002; parents Roy E. and Jean C. St.Clair; sister, Sylvia St.Clair; several close in-laws; and grandsons Kyle St.Clair and Lev Agren.

Roy is survived by his wife, Jeanie Demaree; his sister, Jean Moulton and partner Pete Everson, and sister-in-law, Shirley Young. His lasting legacy includes his children, Roy, wife Elizabeth Germani and children Jeremiah, Benjamin and Jenileigh St.Clair; Kathy and children Lindsay Fisher, Joshua and Jordan St.Clair; Michael, wife Julie McQuillan and children Monica St.Clair and Katie Doran; Mark, wife Anna Reach and children Lucas, Alexis, Jack, Stella and Sutton St.Clair; and Mats Agren, wife Lisa and their children Corinne, Kristoffer, Tatyana, Alla and Hangyul Kweon.
