Mae Ellen Skinnell, born to Lewis and Carroll Wilson in Bedford, Virginia February 26th of 1935, passed away October 8th of 2018. She is survived by her childhood sweetheart and husband of 65 years James R. Skinnell and their 5 children; David, Dianne, Derryl, Denise, and Daniel. She was the proud Mema of 10 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren. She was an avid gardener of other worldly proportions having grown up on her family’s farm. A phenomenal cook and excellent seamstress, she was an incredibly talented woman. She loved animals and any child in need of a surrogate grandparent. She was a loyal Methodist, and her faith in God was of the utmost importance to her. She will be deeply missed by every life she touched of which there were so many. Her family will cherish each lesson she taught them. Viewing at Bill Eisenhour Funeral Home in Del City from 5-8 pm Thursday the 11th of October.
