CUMBERLAND

Roland D. Landry M.D., 79, of Cumberland, passed away peacefully on Sunday, July 30, 2023 at Hope Hospice and Palliative Care in Providence.  He was the husband of 49 years to the late Patricia A. (Travers) Landry.

Born in Central Falls, he was the son of the late Gerald and Rita (Labossiere) Landry.  He resided in Cumberland for almost 50 years, previously residing in Pawtucket.

Dr. Landry graduated from St. Raphael Academy, and later completed his undergraduate education at Providence College and received his medical degree from University of Montpellier, France.  He was a cardiologist who loved his work and patients,  practicing mostly in northern Rhode Island with affiliations at Landmark, Fogarty, Rhode Island, Roger Williams and Miriam Hospitals.

He was a talented baseball player in his youth.  He turned down a professional opportunity for his calling to serve others as a physician.
Roland was a hardworking, loving, family man—an exemplary figure, known as one of the "good guys." He was a kind and gentle soul, leaving a positive impact on all who know him.

He leaves his daughter Michele Landry and her companion David Carrington of Narragansett, his daughter,  Melissa Quinn and her husband Stephen of  Hopkinton, MA; his three grandchildren, Sydney  Carrington, Ryan and Kyle Quinn; his brother, Marc Landry and his wife Frances of Rehoboth; his sister-in-law, Marianne Landry of Cumberland; as well as several nieces and nephews. He was the brother of the late Gerald Landry.

Duffy Funeral Home, 757 Mendon Road, Rt. 122, Cumberland.  A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 10 AM in the St. John Vianney Church, Diamond Hill Road, Cumberland.  Burial will follow at Resurrection Cemetery, Cumberland.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in his memory to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, 262 Danny Thomas Place, Memphis, TN 38105.
