GILMORE
Elizabeth Louise Skidmore, 67, of Gilmore, passed away on Sunday, June 30, 2013, while surrounded by her loved ones after a long courageous battle with Alzheimers.
Born on February 19, 1946, she was the daughter of the late Elizabeth Swenskie and Jack Brode. Preceding her in death was her step-father, William Swenskie; her grandparents James and Marjorie Jenkins and her brother Ronald Brode.
Betty graduated from Valley High School and Allegany College of Maryland. She was employed as an Accounts Clerk III for 23 years with the Allegany County Board of Commissioners in the Finance Office. She also taught and helped with Sunday school at Grace United Methodist Church for many years.
Surviving is her loving husband of 48 years, Edward Skidmore; son Kevin Skidmore of Lonaconing; daughter, Nadine and husband William Beechie of Frostburg, three very special grandchildren, Derrick Skidmore of Gilmore and special friend Bridget Hartman, Samantha Skidmore of Barton; and Andrea Beechie of Frostburg. She also leaves behind three great-grandchildren, Sophia Ritchie, Christian Skidmore and Carmen Hartman which she loved very much.
She also leaves behind a very dear sister Nadine Wampler and husband Darryl, Frostburg and their children and families; Barbara Jean Langham and husband Joe, Barton and their families and many sister- and brother-in-laws. Betty Lou will also be missed by a special relative and friend Marty Swenskie.
Betty Lou and her family were blessed to have Mary John Davis as an exceptional friend and caregiver over the past several years. Mom was loved and cared for by so many. We would like to thank everyone who sent cards, brought food, said prayers, or checked to see if there was anything they could do to help us over the past nine years.
Friends and family will be received at Boal Memorial Chapel, Barton, on Tuesday, July 2 from 5-8 PM. Funeral services will be conducted in the Boal Memorial Chapel on Wednesday, July 3 at 11:00 a.m. with Pastor Harry Burchell officiating. Graveside services will be in Frostburg Memorial Park, Frostburg, Maryland.
Pallbearers are Kevin Skidmore, William Beechie, Darryl Wampler, Jason Wampler, Joe Langham and John Jenkins.
Mom “Granny” we will forever love you and miss you. You were a remarkable and inspiring wife, mother, grandmother, friend, sister, role model and caring woman. Say hello to all our loved ones in heaven and we will see you again someday. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in her honor to Grace United Methodist Church in Midland.
