Born February 3, 1922 in Brooklyn, she was the daughter of the late Henry and Ida Dauernheim. Mrs. St. Clair graduated from Packard Business School and worked as an Assistant Buyer for JC Penney in New York City. She married Jack B. St. Clair in 1946, supporting his rise to Executive Vice-President of Shell Oil Company and President of Shell Chemical Company. Her family affectionately remembers her as fiercely independent with a keen sense of humor. Her passion was photography.
