Obituary of Rollyn Friedman Jordan

Rollie F Jordan, age 74, of Denver and Aspen, CO, passed away peacefully on Sunday, September 1, 2024 surrounded by her loved ones. Rollie was born in Cleveland, OH. 

Rollie Jordan (Born Rollyn Sue Friedman), aka Gigi or Geeg, as she was affectionately called by her children and grandchildren, passed away on September 1, 2024 after an arduous battle with ovarian cancer. Devoted daughter of Leatrice and Jay Friedman. She was the ultimate family woman, leaving behind her husband Dave Lehman; her devoted children Rhett (Audrey) Jordan and Dax (Ashley Bowerman); and her beloved grandchildren Revy, Lillian, and new granddaughter, due in September.  Treasured sister of Perry (Maddy) Friedman and Scott (Cherie) Friedman with loving nieces and nephews Todd (Lisa) Friedman, Brooke (Jason) Rotstein, Courtney (Hesam) Rasoulzadeh, Avery Friedman and Grant Friedman.

Having moved to Denver for college, Colorado was in Rollie’s blood. She was a force in the fashion industry and in the real estate world, where she remained in the top 1% of Colorado realtors for 20 years – her unique vision and impeccable style helped make her a success in whatever she did.  But it was Rollie’s charisma that was captivating, her vivacious personality was cherished by her friends, and she always was dressed spectacularly in Western Chic. She was fabulous and fun, talented and beautiful, and impacted all those who knew her.  She was an icon, a role model, and most of all a loving friend and family member. Rollie will be forever in our hearts.

Service will be held Wednesday, September 4, 2024, at 9:30 AM MST at Feldman Mortuary, 1673 York Street, Denver, CO 80206.  Following there will be a cortege from Denver to Aspen, driving over Independence Pass, her favorite drive, for interment at Red Butte Cemetery, 808 Cemetery Lane, Aspen, CO 80116.

The family will receive friends at 400 Eagle Pines Drive, Aspen on Wednesday September 4, 2024, from 6:00 to 9:00 PM and at 4160 S. Humboldt Street, Cherry Hills on Thursday 5:00 to 9:00 PM, and Friday from 12:00 to 5:00 PM.
