Roland Lee Minga, 67, passed away on Friday, September 23, 2022 at his home. He was born on August 18, 1955 in Amory to Eugene and Mary Lois Faulkner. A graduate of Hatley High School, he worked for Kerr McGhee for 25 years prior to his retirement. Roland was a joy to be around, and he knew everyone in the community. He liked nothing more than to just sit and visit with his friends. In addition to him being an Ole Miss Rebel fan, he was an avid golfer and enjoyed hunting. He loved his dog, Dega which was, of course, short for Talladega but above all this, he was a family man and loved spending time with his children and grandchildren who affectionately called him Pawpaw RoRo.
