Rolly was born in St. Malo, MB to Flore (Bruneau) and Laurin Charette on August 11th, 1938. Rolly enjoyed spending time with family and taking care of her grandkids. When she wasn't with her family, she was calling them daily. She loved cooking for everyone, working outside in her garden, sitting outside taking care of her dog Misty and going to visit her special friend Bill. Rolly was a hard worker and always one to take care of everyone. Her family was her life and she was always there for all of them when they needed her or anyone else who needed help.

She is also survived by her special friend Bill Dokken, her sister Edith Davy and brother Alan Charette, and numerous nieces and nephews. Also, her caregiver of seven years Parick Beirnes, her good friends Sandy Culleton and Kayla Bak and many other close friends.
