Rollande T Fraser passed away peacefully on Monday September 19, 2016 at her home on Freedom Drive in Montpelier. Ronnie was born in Montpelier on May 26, 1926 the 9th child of Emilia and Andre Normandeau. She attended St. Michael grade school, St Michael High School and Vermont Junior College. Following graduation she worked for the Federal Government and the State of Vermont. On December 6, 1952 she married Albert A. Fraser and for a time they made their home in Northfield. While living in Northfield Ronnie was active in the Reading Circle Book Club, and joined a sewing club even though she knew nothing about sewing. She quickly became an expert seamstress creating many beautiful articles of clothing and ultimately won several prizes for her accomplishments. Ronnie was an avid bridge player and she played with several groups at various times. The Thursday bridge game with her friends was something she never missed no matter the weather or any other happenings in the world. She enjoyed a wide circle of friends, was always ready with a new joke or a new tune. Ronnie was a gifted pianist and was always ready to liven up a party with her repertoire of songs. For many years she accompanied her brother "Stretch" on the piano while he played the drums at all of the local nursing homes, a different one each week. In her 70's she started work part-time for the UVM Extension Service and then later worked part-time for Washington County Diversion. She had a full fun-filled life. Although she and Bert had no children of their own she was fulfilled enjoying the activities of her many nieces and nephews and even those of her grand-nieces and nephews. She followed each life with great interest. Ronnie was pre-deceased by her husband Bert, her four sisters Stella Lucas, Lauria LeMay, Rita McNulty, and Yvonne Lane, as well as her brothers Marcel, Lucien, Maurice, Conrad and Edward and her parents. She is survived by her nieces and nephews, Susan Lane Robillard of Warner Robins GA; Linda Normandeau and Priscilla Lane Alexander of Montpelier; Teresa Orr and Leonard Normandeau of Barre; and Michael McNulty of Stowe as well as many other dearly loved nieces and nephews around Vermont and other states.
