Keith B. Tucker

Keith B. Tucker, 67, of Exeter, passed away Sunday, February 13, 2022. Born in South Kingstown, he was the son of the late Woodrow W. and Marjorie M.J. (Jones) Tucker. He is survived by his sisters, Pamela L. Sawin of Foxborough, MA and her husband Craig, Kimberly J. Smith and her husband John of Chepachet, Christine D. Tucker and her husband Brian McDonnell of Coventry, and Suzanne E. Tucker of Hope Valley. Quick with a joke, an expert at card games and cribbage, a loyal New England Patriots fan, a faithful Chevy Camaro owner – Keith was an all-around good guy. Generous, kind, a steadfast helper to Mom and Dad during their later years, Keith was always ready to christen his friends and family with a unique nickname. A lifelong member of Perryville Grange No.14, Keith held various offices including the leadership role of Master. Keith was heavily involved in and a major contributor to running the annual Perryville Grange ice cream booth every August at Washington County Fair. After completing his long career with RI Community Living and Supports in 2019, he had begun his well-earned retirement journey, enjoying family gatherings and his friends at Homestead Restaurant.

Burial will be private. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Meals on Wheels of RI, 70 Bath St., Providence, RI 02908. Keith always appreciated the Meals on Wheels volunteers who gave their time and ear when delivering meals to our parents in their later years.
