Pawtucket – Stanley Baptiste, 78, passed away at home on Tuesday, May 5, 2026. He was the loving husband of Claire D. (Depot) Baptiste. Born in Brookline, MA, he was one of five children of the late Manuel and Eva (Gonsalves) Baptiste.

Stanley honorably served in the United States Army during the Vietnam War. He was a member of Seekonk Congregational Church and was an avid Boston Bruins fan.
