Clinton - Roger Barber, 87, of Clinton, passed away peacefully on October 9, 2025, with his beloved wife of 56 years, Eva Marie, by his side.
He was born on November 17, 1937, in Huntingville, Canada, and later became a proud U. S. Citizen. Roger and Eva were the longtime owners of Marie's Trophies in Clinton, where they served their community for many years.
Roger was an avid bowler and polka dancer who loved spending summers at his camp and joyed boating. He was a member of the Elks Club, a world traveler, and especially fond of
taking cruises.
He was preceded in death by his father, Clifford; his mother, Clara; his sisters, Vera and Uldene; and his beloved dog, Daisy May. He is survived by his sister, Vi, and her husband, Wayne, of Canada, as well as many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews.
Roger will be remembered for his adventurous spirit, his warm heart, and the joy he brought to all who knew him.
Services will be held at Gallant Funeral Home, 10 Elm Street, Waterville on Friday, October 17, 2025. Visiting hours will be from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., followed by a funeral service from 1:00 to 1:30 p.m. and a graveside burial at 2:30 p.m. at Greenlawn Rest Cemetery, 959 Main Street, Clinton. A celebration of life will follow at the Waterville Elks Club, 76 Industrial Street, Waterville.
