Rolande L. Streeter

Rolande L. Streeter, 98, passed away peacefully on October 22, 2025, at the Ridgewood Center in Bedford. She was the beloved wife of the late Robert St. Jean, who predeceased her in 1961, and Donald Streeter until his passing in 1997.

Born on September 1, 1927, in Quebec, Canada, Rolande was the daughter of the late Gaston and Amilienne (Martel) Lachance. She began her working life as a talented seamstress for Martin & Marettia, known for her attention to detail and skill with a needle and thread. Later, she devoted herself fully to her home and family, embracing the role of homemaker with warmth and dedication.

Rolande was a woman of many talents and quiet joys. She found great pleasure in sewing and knitting, often crafting beautiful handmade items for loved ones. Her baking filled the house with comforting aromas and brought people together, especially during holidays and special occasions. Rolande loved reading, playing cards, and attending bingo nights, where her cheerful spirit and sense of fun were always on display. Above all, she cherished time spent with her family, building a life centered around love, care, and connection.

Rolande is survived by eight of her children: Donald Streeter and his wife Connie of Nebraska, Louise Breen of Nashua, Robert St. Jean and his wife Mary of Pelham, Joel Streeter and his wife Rose of Michigan, Richard St. Jean and his wife Christine of Andover, MA, Philip Streeter and his wife Mary of Litchfield, Paul St. Jean and his wife Carol of Alton, and Karen Joseph and her husband Gary of Florida. She also leaves behind her in-laws, Liz Streeter of Florida, Doreen Streeter of Alton, Robert Morris of Florida, Judy Streeter of Bedford, and Brenda Streeter of Tennessee; as well as twenty-six grandchildren, twenty-six great-grandchildren, and her brother, Gilles Lachance of Quebec.

She was predeceased by six of her children: David Streeter, Denise Daley, John Streeter, Suzanne Morris, Brian Streeter, and Mark Streeter; as well as her sons-in-law, Frank Daley and John Hutchins, and nine of her siblings.

The family would like to give a special thank you to the third floor nursing staff at the Ridgewood Center for their care, compassion, and comfort provided to Rolande and her family during her time there.
