Denise Claire Remy.
Denise Claire Remy, 69, an accomplished artist and wonderful wife, mother and sister, died of cancer February 28 in the Hospice unit at Waldo County General Hospital.
She was born in Stamford, Connecticut, the fourth of seven children of Arthur and Marie Remy, and moved to Maine shortly after graduating from Stamford High School.
With her boyfriend Richard Norton and a group of fellow Connecticut escapees, they created a small but influential community on the flank of Patterson Hill, in Thorndike, making the Red House their home. The sunsets and distant views of Katahdin on clear days were attractions, as was the freedom of living close to the land according to ideals they developed as they grew.
There are several reasons Fabiola Philippe’s anxiety and depression went undetected and untreated in the years before her tragic death in the summer of 2017, and her sister and daughter are trying to fix a few of them.
One is that Philippe never told her family she had visited a hospital emergency department seeking help a number of times. Another is that they saw addiction, but not its causes. While a third is that the health-care system didn’t deliver the help she needed, Marie Remy says.
She is determined to prevent more outcomes like what happened to Philippe, who died after being hit by highway traffic after a partner let her out of the car they were travelling in on the night of Canada’s 150th anniversary.
