Estelle M. Roland

Estelle M. Roland, age 87, of Dawsonville, Georgia, passed away on Friday, October 27, 2023. She was born in Dawsonville on February 9, 1936, to the late Ralph Gazaway and the late Lela Tinsley Gazaway. She was a longtime member of Sweetwater Baptist Church.

Mrs. Estelle loved spending time with her family, especially around a supper table. Many of their fondest memories involve a fresh pan of Mrs. Estelle’s homemade biscuits in the middle of the table. She was affectionately known as “granny” by her family and they will always remember her with flour under her nails and dental sweet snuff in her lip.

In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by her loving husband, Donas D. Roland; and children Donna Sue Roland and Dennis Roland. 

She is survived by children, Doyal (Deborah) Roland of Murrayville and Darlene (Allen) Stone of Cumming; sister Stella Worlington of Smyrna; grandchildren Jason (Heather) Roland, Charlene (Mark) Terry, Kim Malone, Dennis (Kim) Roland, Crystal Stone (Nikole Fuente) and Rebecca (Matt) Hicks; great-grandchildren Amber Voyles, Adriana Terry, Maddy Malone, Ava Roland, Stella Roland, Michael Malone, Ella Grace Roland, and Allison Hicks; great-great-grandchildren Baylee Grace Voyles and Hayden Lane Voyles. Several nieces, nephews, and other relatives also survive.
