Obituary

Eleanor May (Varney) Rollins peacefully passed away on June 21, 2024 with her loving daughters by her side. She was born on October 19, 1932 in Windham, Maine, to Edgar and Myrtle (Hill) Varney. She was the youngest of eight siblings. Eleanor attended Windham Schools and on March 3, 1950 married John S Rollins. Together, they raised two daughters while Eleanor dedicated 27 years to the Windham School Food Service. Eleanor and John shared a passion for camping with FCRV, square dancing and cards. Knitting, cooking for family and cherishing time with loved ones were her favorite pastimes. Following retirement, they spent 25 winters in Mims, Florida to escape from the Maine winters. Eleanor's greatest joys were her many grandchildren and daycare babies from both Diane and Michelle's childcare. Eleanor was preceded in death by her parents, her husband of 67 years, and her siblings: Kathrine Hawkes, Marion Lowe, Shirley Sangillo, Edgar Varney, Earlon Varney, and Everett Varney. She is survived by her sister Carrie Cobb, daughters Jacquelyn Rollins Birt (Jim) and Diane Rollins Bell (Cliff) of Windham; grandchildren Jennifer Spinney Shirley (Keith), Kelley Spinney (Walter Connelly), John Bell (Michelle), Kyle Bell (Erica Cressey); great-grandchildren Damon Spinney (Chelsi), Hannah Shirley Wisecup (Jake), Coleman Shirley, Ivy Shannon, Austin Shirley, Jack Shirley, Aubrey Bell, Eleanor Bell, Brecken Cressey, Morgan Bell, Kellan Cressey, and Johnny Bell; great-great-grandchildren Carsyn Spinney, Maeve Spinney, DeClan Shannon, and Oliver Wisecup; step-grandchildren Nicole Cote, Jeff Birt, Jimmy Birt, Chissy Herrera and families; and numerous nieces and nephews. The family extends heartfelt thanks to the staff and friends at Casco Inn Assisted Living and Beacon Hospice Care.
