Lee Roy Adair was born on April 26, 1940, in Corpus Christie, Texas to Huey Lee and Mary Brooks Sawyer. He was loved and raised by James Ernest and Mary Brooks Adair. He passed away on August 16, 2021, from complications from Covid-19.
Lee Roy was preceded in death by his parents, James and Mary Adair and brother-in-law, Roger Randal (Randy) McLemore. Survivors include his wife of 56 years, Margaret Camille Camp Adair; daughter, Allison Adair Taylor and her husband, Bryan; son, Bryan Scott Adair and his wife, Cheyenne; sister, Dona Adair Funderburk and her husband, Jim; grandchildren, Camille and Claire Taylor, Camp Adair, Braydon, and Shawnee Slusser.
Lee Roy attended Crosley Elementary and West Monroe High School graduating in 1958. At West Monroe High, Lee Roy served as the Representative of the 5th District for Distributive Education and was elected State President of DE his senior year. In the Spring of 1962, Lee Roy graduated Northeast Louisiana State College (now ULM) Pharmacy School and was drafted into the United States Army. After basic training in Fort Polk, LA, Lee Roy was stationed at Madigan Army Medical Center in Tacoma, WA until August 1965 at which time he returned to Louisiana and married Margaret Camille Camp at First Baptist Church in West Monroe.
Working for Brooks Drugs, Nix-Cage Drugs and as Pharmacy Manager at Brookshires West Monroe, Lee Roy loved his profession and helping people. He often did "relief" work on his days off for fellow friends, pharmacists at various locations. Some of that work included working for Louisville Pharmacy owned by Mr. Carso, a friend's pharmacy in Jonesboro, Louisiana, and later in life Lee was honored to help Mr. Tonore in Tallulah Louisiana. A stroke in 2013 left Lee Roy unable to continue to work as a pharmacist, but friends continued to call for advice.
Never able to be idle for too long, hobbies included growing orchids, bromeliads, daffodils, and Japanese maples, riding his various Harley Davidson motorcycles, with the Road King being his favorite, any type of hunting with Randy, target shooting, raising cattle, goats and laying hens (except when he'd get calls at the pharmacy that goats were on Highway 80) and spending time with his favorite pet, Queen Molly, his beloved English Bulldog.
Throughout his life, Lee Roy was an active member of First Baptist Church West Monroe teaching high school boys Sunday school classes, serving as a Deacon, and in later years as an Usher and Greeter. He was faithful in supporting the work of the church and other Christian organizations through financial giving.
He loved WMHS and LSU football and teased that grandchild Camp would be an LSU quarterback someday. He was so proud watching Camp play t-ball and basketball, seeing his two granddaughter's academic achievements and watching them play every sport their schools offered, and hearing of Braydon's dedication and work ethic.
The family would like to express our gratitude to the medical and other staff at Saint Francis Hospital for your dedication and compassionate care through these unprecedented times. You make our community a better place in which to live.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorials made to Saint Francis Foundation First Floor, 309 Jackson Street, Monroe, LA 71201, or to St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital.
