Roger Wayne Boucher, 81, of Rehoboth, MA, passed away on Monday, November 18, 2019 at Rhode Island Hospital in Providence, RI. He was the beloved husband of Nancy L. Morgan-Boucher, whom he was married on November 29, 1999.

A resident of Rehoboth since 1995, he previously lived in Attleboro.

A lifelong member of Murray Unitarian Universalist Church in Attleboro, he was active with the Food Pantry and the Memorial Garden project. He enjoyed the outdoors and camping.

He was also active with Rehoboth's "Poetry in the Village" with Nancy, and with the Rehoboth Blanding Library. Roger had a special place in his heart for his two cats: "Felix" and "Butterscotch".
