Holly was called home to be with her Lord and Savior August 16, 2025, at Regional West Medical Center with her loving family by her side and cremation has taken place. Memorials can be made to Valley Christian School in Holly's name. The Colyer Funeral Home assisted the family with the arrangements. Holly was born November 27, 1966, in Ronan, Montana to Roger and Cheryl (Shourds) Cheff. She grew up with her 7 siblings in the Mission Valley. Holly graduated from Ronan High School where she excelled at basketball and track and was Prom Queen her senior year. After graduation she wasted no time marrying the love of her life Russ Trowbridge on August 31, 1985, at First Baptist Church there in Ronan. To this union three children were born: Sheri, Patti, and Kelli. As Holly and Russ raised their family they moved around to several places. It was in December of 2001, when they found their home in Lingle, Wyoming. Holly worked for Lingle Ft. Laramie School as a cook, where her love for children really shined through. The kids were greeted for breakfast and lunch every day with a huge smile and loving laugh. Holly loved to attend all Lingle sporting event to watch and cheer on her children, grandchildren, and all the students who attended Lingle Ft. Laramie School. Holly helped out with the after-school program day care at Valley Christian School in
Torrington, Wy and was very active at Haven on the Rock where she cooked for many years. Holly loved to hold and snuggle all babies. She loved to grow a garden and go camping in the summertime with her family and friends. Holly loved to bake cakes for weddings, birthdays, graduations and special occasions. She loved to be with her husband Russ and was often his shadow around the ranch, because there was no one she would rather be with. Holly was a very active member of North Hills Baptist Church in Lingle. There are two things in life Holly loved the most, the Lord and her family. She was undoubtedly the best mother and grandmother to her children and grandchildren and would have done anything for them to make sure they were taken care of. She trusted in the Lord and knew that he was the leader of her life, and we know that Holly is now resting in the loving arms of Jesus and her mother Cheryl. To say that she had an impact on the lives of others would be an understatement and she will be deeply missed by all those who knew and loved her.
