Kenneth Howard Stetson

February 25, 2019

Kenneth Stetson, age 79, passed away peacefully, with his son Keith by his side, on Monday, February 25, 2019. He was born on October 2, 1939 to Howard and Evelyn (Latham) Stetson in Providence, RI. He built a home and raised a beautiful family in N. Scituate, RI. Ken was a wonderful husband, family man, and friend. Always willing to work hard or do something silly to see a smile on his family’s face. Ken had a very successful career including service in the US Navy and RI National Guard. He sang and played tuba and string bass. He passed his talent and love of music to his children and grandchildren. Ken enjoyed sitting back and watching people. He had a curiosity for how and why things worked. He encouraged his family to investigate and try new things, even if they were out of the ordinary, always asking, “Why?” or “Why not?” New things were worth trying at least once and the sky was the limit. Ken has joined his parents and 2 daughters, Baby Stetson and Kimberly (Stetson) Darby. He is survived by his beloved wife Donna (Wise) Stetson; sons, Kenneth JR. and Keith; brother, Brad; 9 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren. Calling hours will be at the Winfield & Sons Funeral Home, 571 West Greenville Road, Scituate on Monday, March 4, 2019 from 5 to 8:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Hopehealthco.org in honor of Ken and in recognition of the support that hospice has provided to our family and others.
