You and your family are in my prayers and thoughts, may God's comfort be with you.
Mrs. Skobel will surely be missed.
I worked at Kroger in W. Memphis for many years.
Every time she came to get groceries she always had a smile & something nice to say. I'm sorry for the loss of such a sweet lady. I lost my Mom 10 yrs. ago, maybe they will run in to each other..

What a kind lady Ms. Skobel was. So sorry for your loss. Growing up I always loved coming to the Skobel house as Ms. Skobel was always so welcoming and loving.
Condolences to this sweet lady's daughters & all her survivors. Prayers of comfort during your grief.
I am so sorry for your loss. Ms Skobel was a great person and always visited my Mom when she had Alzheimer's and was in Geriatrics Nursing Home.
I always appreciated that!
My thoughts and prayers are with the family. I will miss Shirl's sweet smile when I visit Holy Cross. She was such a blessing to that church. Mom and Dad welcomed her to heaven with open arms.
