Our angel, Nathalie E. St. Clair, 93, of Auburn passed away at Clover Manor, Auburn on September 16, 2019. She was born February 6, 1926 in Phillips, Maine, daughter of Alton P. & Helen (Perrin) Edwards. She graduated from Phillips High School, then Central Maine General Hospital as a Registered Nurse. She worked at Togus Hospital, Franklin County Memorial Hospital, and Sandy River Nursing Care Center. She was the first nurse in Androscoggin Home Health from the Farmington area and enjoyed getting to know the families with whom she worked. She married Bennie Nile in 1948 then Arthur St. Clair in 1971.
Throughout her life, she enjoyed spending time with family and friends, square dancing, playing games, traveling far and wide and camping, especially to Prince Edward Island and all the Maritimes, sewing, baking, craft work, and church activities at Henderson Memorial Baptist Church. She will be remembered for her yummy chocolate chip cookies amongst other baked items, her sweet personality, and her love of red cardinals.
