Rolly was a dear friend to many! I enjoyed playing tennis with her, and still treasure the personalized Christmas stocking she did for my granddaughter. A very special lady.

Rolly produced many poppies of various sorts, all to brighten the lives she touched. Her kindred are the poppies now left behind to flourish in life that she well lived! An amazing 98 year history!

With hugs in mind - Bee and Bill Berggren

Dear Mike, Richard, and Steve,I was sad to hear of your mom's passing. She was always one of my favorite people. In recent years, she and I sat in the same pew in church and were always so glad to see each other since neither of us went on a super regular basis. I always remember our days growing up on Dudley Street and somehow it was comforting to know she was still there. I loved her voice and laugh. I'll miss her!Love and prayers to you all,Suzi Avoyer PettigrewPlease let me know if there are any servicesSpettigrew@cox,net
