Margaret E Skube

Cherishing a Life Well Lived

It is with deep sorrow that we mourn the passing of our beloved Mom, Margaret “Peggy” Skube, who departed this life on January 12, 2026 at the age of ninety-five. She was a cherished Mother, Grandmother, Great Grandmother. Her strength, unconditional love, deep faith, and her ability to provide a loving, safe environment for her children to grow up in were gifts she gave without a second thought.

She drew strength from her Catholic faith, which remained a constant source of guidance and devotion throughout her life. She was most proud of her membership in the Nocturnal Adoration Society of Benedictine Oblates. She attended Christ the King Catholic Church.

Born on October 25, 1930 in Pueblo, CO, to Aloysius Hinds and Elizabeth Brockman. She married Donald Richard Skube on September 5th, 1949. Together they had ten children, nine who are still living. She became a widow on March 3, 1976. She is preceded in death by her parents, Aloysius and Elizabeth Hinds, her husband Donald Skube, her infant daughter, her brothers Aloysius "Pat" Hinds and Louis Hinds, as well as her son-in-law Rick Nicholson.

Peggy earned her RHIT accreditation in 1972 and concluded her career in September 2002.

Surviving Peggy are her children, Donna (Pat) James, Don (Donna) Skube, Steve (Rose) Skube, Paula (Ron) Padilla, Rita Nicholson, Ted (Teri) Skube, Nora (Greg) Day, JoBeth (Mark) Harriman, and Anita David, 22 Grandchildren and Spouses, and 20 Great Grandchildren, Sister Mary Ellen Shetler, Sister-in-law Charlotte (John) Cernac, as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

We would like to thank the staff of the Villa Pueblo and Compassus Hospice for their care of our Mom. She loved and trusted you.

Our lives will be forever changed with her passing but the blessings she gave us will be with us forever.
