Rollie Brent Bartlett,75, of Paducah, Kentucky, passed away peacefully on February 18, 2026, at Southgate Nursing and Rehabilitation in Metropolis, Illinois.
Rollie was born in Paducah, Kentucky, on April 29, 1950, to the late Rollie James and Laurine Wood Bartlett. He graduated from Murray State University with a Bachelor’s Degree in 1973. He was proud to mention that for 30 years of his working career was spent at USEC as a Cascade Operator from 1974 to 2003. Rollie had a true love for luxury cars, admiring both their appearance and the craftsmanship that went into their creation. Rollie was also a true University of Kentucky basketball fan. Most importantly, he was the kindest person you would ever meet. He would give the shirt off his back if it meant helping someone.
Rollie is survived by his extended family, Barbie Croft Kittel and her family, Steve Croft and his family; and his dearest friend, Donna Croft.
He was preceded in death by his parents and his step-mom, Velda Robertson Bartlett.
The family would like to make a special thank you to the Department of Labor Nurse, Ramona Beyer, for all of her help, courtesy, and guidance, as well as a very dear caregiver, Jovita Gonzales.
