LaVonne L. (Quist) Rolland, 93
July 12, 1925 ~ June 1, 2019
LaVonne was born July 12, 1925 to Alfred and Clara (Anderson) Quist of Blair, Nebraska. She was baptized and confirmed at First Lutheran Church of Blair. She attended Blair High School, graduating in 1941 at the age of 15. She then went on to get her teaching certificate from Dana College in Blair. LaVonne started teaching at Glendale where she would ride her horse to school, as the family only had one car. She then went on to teach at Orum, Nebraska, where she met Gustav Rolland.
LaVonne and Gustav were married on February 14, 1947. They were blessed with four children of their own, in addition to the many foster children they welcomed over the years.
LaVonne then started working with Gus at the Orum Store, running the store for many years. After selling the store, the couple made Rolland Feed Service/Rolland’s Farm Supplies Inc. their sole focus. LaVonne enjoyed living on the farm and the many hours spent with Gus. The Rolland Family was awarded the Aksarben Pioneer Farm Family award in 1978, in recognition of their 100-year family farm.
LaVonne was a long-time member and volunteer at First Lutheran Church in Blair where she taught Sunday School and was active in Love Day and Bible Study.
One of LaVonne’s greatest joys were her children. She and Gus were foster parents to over 150 children throughout the years. She was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother.
LaVonne L. Rolland, age 93 of Blair, passed away June 1, 2019 surrounded by family.
Left to cherish her memory are her children: son Kevin (Sheryl) Rolland, daughters Kathy Rolland and Kay (Bob) Leehy; brother Darvid (JoAnn) Quist, sister-in-law Joan Quist, brother-in-law Martin Kuhr; grandchildren; Mike (Laura) Rolland, Jaclyn (Travis) Svendgard, Chris Rolland, Jenny Houser, Alan Huhnerkopf, Carney (Cassy) Rolland, Kelby and Avery Rolland, and Luke, Nolan and Megan Leehy, great-grandchildren; Cameron, Gherig, Carter, Ella, Clara, Grace, Zach, Bradley, C.J., Bristol, Baylor, Tyson and Payten.
She was preceded in death by her husband Gustav, her parents, son Kenny and daughter-in-law Tracey and brothers Quentin and Arvin Quist.
