Margaret Lucy (Brodhacker) Roland

Margaret Lucy Roland, 92, of Indianapolis, passed away on Monday, July 3, 2023.  She was born on June 4, 1931, in Steelville, Missouri, to the late Albert and Ruth (Keeton) Brodhacker. 

Margaret got her first job as a teller out of school with American Fletcher National Bank. She joined the Treasurers and Ticket Sellers Union Local 751 I.A.T.S.E. and enjoyed a long career selling tickets anywhere they sent her.  She sold tickets for Market Square arena from the day they opened to the day they closed.  Margaret worked the credentials gate for many years at the Indianapolis 500, a job she loved. 

Margaret loved to travel and would go anywhere.  She road a motorcycle all the way to Kennebunkport, Maine and took her sister-in-law all the way to Alaska to visit friends.  She loved playing the slot machines in Las Vegas and loved to shop at the Good Will or the “G.W.” as she called it.  She had an adventurous spirit and was known to have a good time; she will truly be missed.
