M. Rolande Rubin was born in Quebec on May 2, 1931, having three children (Danny, Steve, and Lynn) before moving to BC in the 1970s. Rolande has many grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Rolande took pride in her independence and challenged stereotypes about ageing, proving that she was strong (both physically and mentally) and capable of not only taking care of herself, but taking care of others. She was known for her sassy personality, wit, stubbornness, and humour. She loved animals, and can be remembered for her two beautiful siamese cats Tom Tom and Missy, both of whom she adored.
Rolande lived actively and fully independently until her sudden stroke at nearly 89 years young. She continued her fierce battle of independence until the very end. She passed peacefully in her sleep at age 92 on June 22, 2023. Thank you to the staff at The Summit for looking after Rolande.
As per Rolande's request, there will be no service.
