Peter F Fuller

Peter F. Fuller, 72, died the morning of January 21, 2026 at his home in Warwick, RI. He was married to Joan Barrett Fuller for over 50 years, and is survived by their son Peter B. Fuller and his wife Katherine (D’Ascenzo) of West Chester, Pennsylvania.

Peter was the oldest child of Revilo C. and Beatrice (Cunningham) Fuller. He grew up in Thomaston, CT and attended Thomaston Public Schools. He graduated from Providence College where he and Joan were classmates. He earned Master’s Degrees in Library Science and Public Administration from the University of Rhode Island.

Peter spent his career as a public librarian. He worked in North Kingstown, East Greenwich, Pawtucket and Lincoln before joining Seekonk Public Library. He served the people of Seekonk for 24 years, first as the Associate Director and then as the Director of the Library.

Peter was blessed with a wonderful family and group of friends. His four younger siblings survive him: Donald D. Fuller (Brenda), Susan M. Fuller, Margaret M. Protzmann (Donald) all of Connecticut and Timothy R. Fuller (Stacy) of Maryland. He is survived by his in-laws, Jane Carosi (Bill), Judy Barrett, Robert Barrett Jr. (Michelle) all of Rhode Island, and Michael Barrett (Christine) of Connecticut. He is also survived by several nieces and nephews. He treasured his friendships and decades later still remained close to his childhood friends and Providence College classmates.

Peter was a long-time member of Christ the King Parish in Kingston, Rhode Island where he served as a eucharistic minister and member of the liturgy committee. In his spare time Peter enjoyed walking the family’s dog at City Park, working in the yard, golfing and watching his beloved New York Mets and Providence Friar Basketball. He shared a special love of music and baseball with his son, Peter.

Peter was a dedicated public servant and believed well-supported public libraries are essential parts of the communities they serve.

He will be remembered as a great husband, father, brother, and friend who had a passion for good music, a terrific sense of humor, and a love for sitting out in the backyard around a fire, sharing a beer and good laughs with those he cherished most. He will be greatly missed.
