Forrest Rollins Obituary

FORREST "ANNE" ROLLINS, 86, of Charleston passed away July 2, 2023. Anne was born on May 5, 1937 in Nitro, WV and raised in Red House, WV.
She was preceded in death by her father and mother Judson and Dorothy Harmon and brother, Donald Harmon.

Additionally, she is survived by her sister, Kitty Harmon; 4 grandchildren: Florence Kate Yingst, Emily Yingst, Annie Warner, Sarah Dwyer and 2 Great Grand Children.
Anne was a wonderful wife, mother, daughter, grandmother, and friend. She was kindhearted, loving, witty, elegant (always had on her jewelry), and devoted to all. Anne made others around her feel welcomed and a part of the family. She loved playing solitaire, buying scratch off lottery tickets, and drinking a scotch with water.
She was a graduate of Poca High School and attended Morris Harvey College (now University of Charleston). Anne fulfilled time as the owner of Dynamic Display floral shop for 30 years, she was a devoted Kindergarten Teacher at The Baptist Temple for 50 years, and committed to the community as the operator of South Hills Swim Pool Concession for 20 years.
Thank you to the nurses at the step down unit at Thomas Memorial Hospital and Visiting Angels for providing comfort and medical care for Anne and her family.

We will miss Anne. She was a blessing to everybody, especially at the Chas Baptist Temple. She was so full of life, giving and teaching so much to so many. Condolences and prayers for the Rollins family on the passing of Anne.
