The Summit County Medical Examiner said Rollins died of a gunshot wound to the chest.

“Nicole was actively involved with her children’s PTA and was a very important contributor to the Portage Lakes Girls Fastpitch League. She was a loving and devoted wife, mother, and sister who will be greatly missed,” her obituary reads.

Rollins, known to friends as Nikki, was a very giving person, her friend Becky Wilcox told FOX 8 News. Friends will hold a fundraising dinner for the family on March 21 at Lala’s restaurant in New Franklin.
