Bruce J. Lethbridge

Bruce J. Lethbridge 87, of Rumford, passed away peacefully with his family by his side on Friday, March 8, 2024. He was the beloved husband of the late Elaine “Twin” D. (Marceau) Lethbridge who passed away in 2019. Born in East Providence, he was a son of the late Alfred and Mildred (Turcotte) Lethbridge.

Bruce was a United States Navy veteran of the Korean War and went onto a career as the production manager at Texas Instruments in Attleboro until his retirement. He also enjoyed caddying for many years at Wannamoisett Country Club in Rumford.

He was an avid sports fan and enjoyed closely following the New England Patriots and the Boston Celtics. Bruce also loved starting every day with a good cup of coffee, and subsequently a hearty plate of meatballs and sausages or a Rhode Island staple of hot wieners “all the way”. He also enjoyed shopping at Kohl’s, playing cards with his family and friends and he looked forward to the Tuesday night card league with friends at the former Asquino’s in East Providence.

Bruce had a great sense of humor and will be lovingly remembered by all whose lives he has touched over the past eighty-seven years.
