Donna Marie Rollins
Heaven gained an infectious smile on June 23 when an auto accident claimed our friend, daughter, and beloved Donna Marie Rollins. Born January 17, 1978 in Deer Lodge to Bob and Lisa Rollins, Donna graduated from Powell County High School in 1996. Always valuing her education, she earned an Associates of Science in Accounting from Western Wyoming Community College, in 2002, before continuing on to Montana Tech of the University of Montana, where in 2003, she graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Business and Information Technology-Accounting.
 She was employed by Town Pump Corporate Office for the last 10 years, where most recently she worked in Fuel and Distribution.  
 Donna was a devoted partner to Nick for 16 years, she adored children and enjoyed spending time with family and friends. Donna was an avid reader, had a passion for photography, and enjoyed everything about the outdoors. Donna crocheted custom blankets tailoring each blanket for family and friends.  The 4th of July was her favorite time of year because of the celebrations and fireworks. 
Her beautiful life leaves an unfillable void, yet provides a wonderful example of a life well lived. Her memory will continue forever and be cherished in the lives of her surviving friends and family: partner Nick Barney of Butte, parents Bob and Lisa Rollins of Deer Lodge, brother Dale Rollins of Worland, Wyo., aunts and uncles Pat and Tawny Campbell and Jerry Rollins of Deer Lodge, Stan and Lila Rollins of Anaconda, Molly and Tony Hixson, Alex and Heather Campbell, Steve and Ashley Rollins, James and Phaedra Campbell all of Worland, Wyo., numerous cousins and close friends.
