Darcy Mann-McMillan Obituary

Darcy Lee Mann-McMillan, 40, of Great Falls, died of an accidental overdose Sunday, Nov. 27, at a local hospital.

Her memorial service is 2 p.m. today at Ulm Bible Church. Cremation took place under the direction of O'Connor Funeral Home.

Darcy was born April 13, 1971, in Great Falls, the daughter of Ken and Karen (Rogers) Mann. She received her education in Great Falls and graduated from CMR High School in 1989. She worked various places in Great Falls as a bartender.

When she had her children, she was a stay-at-home mom. Her granddaughter Kira Lee was the light of her life, and her best friend was her daughter Mandy. Her son Brandon was always her baby boy, whom she loved to death. She always had everyone's back and had a lot of love for her family and friends.

Darcy was a regular at the stockcar races in Great Falls, and was her brother Justin's biggest fan. She enjoyed NASCAR racing and was a special fan of Dale Earnhardt and Dale Earnhardt Jr. The Montana Grizzlies and the San Francisco 49ers were her favorite teams. She was definitely her dad's baby girl, and her nickname was "Punkin." She was her mom's best friend.

Darcy leaves behind her parents, Ken and Karen Mann, her longtime partner, Jeff Short, a son, Brandon McMillan, daughter Mandy Mann, and a brother, Justin Mann, all of Great Falls; a stepsister, Dette Owens of Anchorage, Alaska; and her granddaughter, Kira Lee.
