Ro and I worked together at St. Francis Xavier for a couple years before she moved to Madison Heights. She always amazed me on how active she was. She would work until the job the got done no matter what. She taught me quite a few things. I would send her the bulletin so she knew what was happening until she could no longer read it. I am sure she will tell us that Heaven is pink. She was an amazing person and we will miss her.
It is with a heavy heart that we say goodbye to a "Great" person, our dear Aunt Rolande. Always helping others her whole life. RIP Aunt Rolande. Love, Julie Halash
Ro was a steady friend to me. We both worked in the parish office at St. Francis Xavier for at least six years. We would have lunch together now and then. We celebrated birthdays with the one of the other staff members, Gail Ross. Ro attended Gail's funeral about three years ago. We will continue Ro in our prayers.
Ro was a very active parisioner at St. Francis Xavier while she lived in Columbiaville, Michigan.She assisted us in the parish office for many years. She enjoyed going to concerts, and visiting parishioners whenever she could. We quilted together and one summer made a pilgrimage to the shrines in Canada together. She was extremely appreciative of any opportunity to mingle with members of St. Francis Xavier Parishoners. We missed her when she moved to Madison Heights.
Speaking for Deloras Robichaud and Mary Sayers and myself. We very much enjoyed playing cards with Ro. She was sharp and her limited vision did not impair her game. We enjoyed her sense of humor and her friendship. She is missed.
