SOUTH PORTLAND – Clare Elizabeth McKeagney died at home on Jan. 16, 2021, at 74, as a result of advancing cardio-vascular disease. She was granted her long-standing wish simply to “drop dead” rather than experiencing a long, debilitating struggle.
Clare was born in Portland on April 24, 1946 to Virginia Williams of Cape Elizabeth. She was immediately adopted by her grandparents, Ivor and Mabel Williams, also of Cape Elizabeth. She grew up spending hours playing at the shoreline in Cape and at the family cottage on Long Island. She developed a deep and strongly held love of Casco Bay that left her with a lifetime need to hear pounding surf and to smell ocean water.
