Douglas E. Roland, 79, a resident of Morgan City, passed away Saturday, Jan. 
26, 2013, at Terrebonne General Medical Center. 

He was born on Jan. 26, 1934, in Stambaugh, Mich., the son of Gordon and Goldie 
Lemming Roland.

Visitation was from 8 a.m. until funeral time today at Holy Cross Catholic 
Church. A Mass of Christian burial was at 10 a.m. today at the church, with 

burial with military honors in St. Joseph Cemetery in Thibodaux.

He will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by his wife of 53 years, 
Patricia Gervais Roland of Morgan City; one son, Chris Roland and wife, Connie, 
of Lafayette; two grandchildren, Cade Michael Roland and Morgan Elizabeth 
Mitchell; two sisters, Evelyn VanDoren of Milwaukee, Wisc., and Dorothy Ryskey 
of Fayetteville, Ark.; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Douglas was preceded in death by his parents, Gordon Roland and Goldie Lemming 
Roland; one sister, Mary Dain; and three brothers, Bill Roland, Ronald Roland 
and Donald Roland.

Douglas had many joys in his life, but the one that made him the happiest was 
spending time with his family. He enjoyed going fishing and also enjoyed 
traveling with his wife. He liked to spend time working on the computer and 
loved to pass the time by going to the casino. He enjoyed watching LSU football 
and swimming with his grandchildren.

Twin City Funeral Home in Morgan City is in charge of arrangements.
