Ken & family, so sorry for your loss.  She was a kind loving person and will be missed by all.

I was so sad to see this. I loved her dearly. When I buried my two daughters and husband, in three years, I was a regular customer at Rolly's. I was very upset and Rolly's became my therapy. I was there every morning for a very long time. Mrs Rolly  and the customers were my comfort. By going there I knew that I wanted to go on and thats what I did. She was a pure 10 in my world. Fly high Rolly and be proud of yourself. 

I started bringing my son Hunter to Rolly's Diner from when he was only a few months old to present day which he is now 14. We went often and always on special occasions like Mother's Day, the Balloon festival and the daytime Halloween trick or treating walk around New Auburn!! These events shaped my son's life and we will be eternally grateful for every memory and moment shared at her restaurant!!! She will definitely be missed by many!!! Our thoughts and prayers are with her family!!!!❤🙏

She was such a warm and loving person. Always a smile on her face and a minute to chat. She will surely be missed. Rest in Peace.

Condolences to the Blais family. You are in my thoughts and prayers. 


Aunt Rolande. You will be missed .We've had some great times I'll always remember them

I will always keep Rolly in my heart for her kindness and great crepes! Her seasonal decorations at the restaurant were heartwarming and I never missed a season there for that very reason. Her smiles were contagious! Rolly is in the warmest most loving place that she so deserved to be in now. Soar on, Rolly!

So sorry to hear of your family's sad news.  She was an amazing woman and it goes without saying she will be missed by all those who had the opportunity to know her. Please accept my deepest condolences. 

To the Blais family my deepest sympathy at this tough time Rolande was a kind person .

a wonderful lady, a dear friend and neighbor for over 50 years,a wonderful Mom and wife ..Time passes so quickly and we have shared many laughs and a little gossip over the picket fence...  If there's a cup of coffee to be filled in heaven, Rolande will be there with the coffee pot in hand..If there's a bingo hall or casino in heaven Rolande and Roland are on their way..Miss you every time I look out the kitchen window...Be at peace......Love  Winny and Pauline







To all the Blais family, Mary and I are so sorry for your loss.  She was such a special person and touched so many lives serving the community breakfast and lunch with her warm genuine smile and kindness.   Our memories of her are many and precious.   Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Rolande was my grandmother Lucille’s younger sister but they were like twins to me! I love going in and seeing her interact with customers smiling and joking. Even the smallest of her habits like the way she wrote or held her pen, her smile with pursed lips as she glowed, and her walk was uncanny and made me feel like Lucille was in the room. I spoke to her each time I ate at the restaurant and she most always remembered me! She will be greatly missed. ❤️

My deepest sympathy go out to you and your family.  Rolly was a childhood friend of my mom, (Ann Dumais) and the two were always together at Schooner Estates.  I will miss seeing her there, but know she is in God's Peace and with her loved ones.  May God comfort you and your family during this difficult time.  

To her loving family , I'm very sorry for your loss.

Growing up I frequented going to Rolly's on weekends with my grandparents.  Rolly always greeted you with a smile. These are mo moments I will cherish forever. Rest in peace. ❤
