Paul E. St. Denis

Paul Eric St. Denis, 64, died Thursday, November 20, 2025, following a lengthy illness. He was born on November 25, 1960, in Ayer, MA, the sixth of ten children of Andrew J. St. Denis and Kathryn M. (Lonergan) St. Denis (both deceased) of Littleton.

Paul was a self-employed painter whose talent for the craft came naturally. He struggled with alcoholism in his teens and early twenties but achieved and maintained sobriety for over 35 years. He was a well-known member of AA and sponsored many individuals. He was a man of deep faith and a parishioner of Union Congregational Church, York, ME for many years. He enjoyed gardening, cooking, laughing, and playing the lottery!

Paul leaves his daughter, Hannah St. Denis, and her life partner Corey Colfer of Dresden, ME; two granddaughters, Azalea, and Dahlia Colfer also of Dresden, ME; his son and daughter-in-law; his brother John St. Denis of Groton; four sisters, Kathy Kirkland of Wilmington, NC, Julie Oldenquist of Jaffrey, NH, Jackie St. Denis of Lawley, FL, and Michelle Berry of Leominster; and several nephews and nieces.

He is pre-deceased by the mother of his children, Dianne (Groppe) St. Denis; three brothers, Andrew J. St. Denis, Jr., Thomas A. St. Denis, Brian T. (Timmy) St. Denis; and his sister, Mary J. (Janet) Shick. A brief and informal scattering of ashes will be hosted by Paul’s long-time good friend, Calvin Yapp, at his farm located at 441 Newtown Rd, Littleton, MA on December 6, 2025, from 11:00am to 1:00pm.
