Virginia Crash Kills a Hooksett Woman


Posted on Dec 11, 2008

Last week, Kamala St. Germain, a woman from Hooksett, New Hampshire, was fatally injured in a crash on Interstate 95.  The accident occurred on Monday, December, 1, 2008, according to Virginia State Police.

St. Germain, 75, was in her Honda traveling north on Interstate 95 when she was rear-ended by a 2001 Kenworth tractor-trailer driven by Warren Lucas Tomlinson Jr., 64, from Emporia.  The accident took place near Mile Marker 44, the Progess-Index of Petersburg, Virginia, according to a report.

The Honda became wedged underneath the tractor-trailer when it caught fire.  The accident closed northbound lanes of I-95 for approximately seven hours.

St. Germain was an ordained minister and had earned a doctorate in divinity from the Universal Life Church.  She was the founder of DoveStar School of Holistic Technology and had completed a three-month yoga teaching program at the Shivananda Yoga Center in Val Morin, Quebec.  St. Germain taught yoga and massage internationally for 44 years.  “She was just the most serene, spiritual person you could ever meet.  She was always calm; she just had a motherly presence about her,” said massage therapist Deanna Raymond of Brentwood.

St. Germain was also a certified clinical hypnotherapist, an astrologer, a licensed massage therapist, a Reiki master teacher and a practitioner of colon hydrotherapy.  In addition, she taught and lectured on holistic health at the collegiate level, on radio and television, locally and internationally since 1965 and authored many published articles.  She had five children, ten grandchildren and several great-grandchildren.

Employees at the DoveStar School would not comment on the crash or their reaction to hearing the news of St. Germain’s death.  According to Raymond, “she was everyone’s mentor.”  Raymond attended DoveStar School from 2003 to 2006 and took numerous massage therapy classes offered by St. Germain.
