Jean C. Skinner

To Jean's family, Jean was such a dear lady and will always be remembered by staff here at the Wisconsin Historical Society! I worked with Jean when I first started at the WHS Microforms Room in 1988. She taught me so much about genealogy, love of family and faith! I'll hold the memory of her lovely smile in my heart forever! God bless your family! Lori (Cook) Bessler

Jan & Jeff and Skinner family. Sorry to hear about the loss of your Mother. We only met her a couple of times, but she must have been a very special lady to have brought up such wonderful adults. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Margie & James

My heartfelt sympathies go out to the Skinner Family. Jean will be fondly remembered by all the staff in the State Office of Vital Records that had the priviledge of working with Jean. I had this priviledge for many many years. Her wealth of geneology knowledge, the numerous hours of her volunteer work and generosity here was an immense asset to this Office and greatly appreciated. This remarkable lady touched the lives of many including mine. She had such a zest and love for life and loved her children and grandchildren dearly. We spent many hours sharing our gramma stories and she never ceased to amaze or inspire me. The strength and courage she displayed during some very tough times was again remarkable at best. May all the fond memories she left behind be of comfort and solace to the Skinner family. She will me greatly missed by many.

Jean was our neighbor. She was always so nice to us. She made the best brownies. She gives good hugs. She always had treats for us when we visited her and John. We liked looking at her Christmas village and Christmas tree decorated with chickens. She was an angel to me (Megan). She was like a grandma to me (Olivia). We will miss her a lot.
