Roger A. Beaudoin

Roger A. Beaudoin, 92, of Plainville, passed away peacefully on Thursday, November 5, 2026, at Bristol Hospital. He was the beloved husband of the late Judith E. (Bradley) Beaudoin, with whom he shared a lifetime of love, devotion, and cherished memories.

Born on October 20, 1934, in Lisbon, New Hampshire, Roger was the son of the late Odilon and Louisa Beaudoin. At an early age, his family moved to Plainville, a town he proudly called home for the rest of his life. A lifelong member of the community, Roger formed countless friendships and left a lasting impression on all who knew him.

Roger attended Plainville High School, where he excelled as a three-sport athlete, proudly competing in football, basketball, and baseball. Following graduation, he answered the call to serve his country by enlisting in the United States Army. As a Military Police Officer stationed in Japan during the Korean War era, Roger served with honor and dedication. He remained deeply proud of his military service throughout his life and held a profound respect for his fellow veterans and the sacrifices they made. One of his proudest achievements was being personally chosen by the U.S. Army General overseeing operations in Japan to serve as his enlisted aide.

Upon returning home, Roger began a long and successful career in the printing industry, holding various positions throughout the years. He ultimately retired from Miller Johnson, where he worked as a printer for many years. In addition to his printing career, Roger proudly served the Town of Plainville as a Supernumerary Police Officer, further demonstrating his commitment to public service and the community he loved.

While Roger took great pride in his professional accomplishments, his greatest joy was his family. A devoted husband, father, and grandfather, he was a constant source of love, guidance, and encouragement. Roger spent many years coaching his children's youth sports teams and could always be found on the sidelines offering support and advice. As his family grew, he enthusiastically embraced his role as grandfather, rarely missing a game, performance, or milestone. His children and grandchildren knew him as their biggest supporter, loudest cheerleader, and most faithful fan.

Roger is survived by his four children, Kevin (Deborah) Beaudoin of Southington, Keith (Marianne) Beaudoin of Lake Hopatcong, New Jersey, Kendra Beaudoin of Plainville, and Krista Beaudoin of Plainville; and by his six cherished grandchildren, Morgan, Aiden, Madison, Jordan, Ryan, and Beau. He also leaves behind extended family members, dear friends, and neighbors whose lives were enriched by his kindness, generosity, and unwavering devotion to family and community.

Funeral services will be private. The DellaVecchia Funeral Home, 211 North Main Street, Southington, has been entrusted with the arrangements. To leave a message of condolence for Roger's family, please visit www.DellaVecchiaSouthington.com.
