Rolland Normand "Norm" Dulude

Rolland Normand “Norm” Dulude, age 86, passed away on Tuesday, February 19, 2019 in Biloxi, Mississippi. Norm was born on April 28, 1932 to George and Annette Marcotte Dulude in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. He later married Phylis Fletcher and had two children, Howard Dulude and Christa Dulude of Rhode Island. After serving four years in the Air Force as an airplane mechanic, Norm worked at Crown Wire and General Cable in the same field. After a long illness Phylis died and several years later Norm married Evelyn Beaulieu of Taunton, Massachusetts. Evelyn also suffered a long illness and died. In 1997, Norm followed his heart to Las Vegas, Nevada and married Donna Collins. During those years he was happily retired and was able to continue his woodcarving hobby and playing the harmonica, which he loved most. He would play for anyone who would listen, large groups in churches or small groups of neighborhood children. A hobby he continued until he no longer had the breath to do it. Even when his memory was failing, he would sit for hours and play bits and pieces of every song he knew. Norm was a gentle, soft spirited man whom everyone loved. He was a good man! He loved his church; however, he loved the music most. At his memorial service, several of his friends will sing as evidence of this fact. Norm is survived by his children, Christa Dulude and her life companion Janet Kalil and Howard (Terri) Dulude, and their four children, all of Rhode Island; his wife, Donna Dulude of Ocean Springs and her children, Laura Steffens of Ocean Springs, Ronald (Sylvia) James of Utah, and Richard (Susan) James of Nevada; seven grandchildren; eleven great-grandchildren; a multitude of friends; and a furry companion “Joie”. A memorial service will be held at 11:00 am on Saturday, February 23, 2019 at the Ocean Springs Chapel of Bradford-O’Keefe Funeral Home. Friends may visit one-hour prior to service.
