Roger S. Keene Sr.

TURNER – Roger S. Keene, Sr., 74, of Turner, passed away Wednesday, March 26, 2025, at Andwell Hospice House in Auburn, with his loving family by his side. He was born May 23, 1950, in Livermore, the son of Lloyd S. Keene and Annie (Akers) Keene.

Roger attended school in Livermore. On Nov. 8, 1969, in Canton, he married Joanne Mason of Turner. Roger worked for H.E. Mcann and Town and Country as a salesman. He later worked delivering newspapers for 32 years for Sun Journal in Lewiston. He was a member of the Nezinscot Lodge #101 in Turner.

He enjoyed sitting out by his pool with a beer in hand, snowmobiling, spending time at camp with his wife riding back roads, auto racing (his love for auto racing came from early years of being a pit crew member), and most of all spending time with his family.
