Born on February 24, 1953, in Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin, to Elmer and Blanche (Reichhoff) Skirowski Sr., Virginia was a proud graduate of Adams-Friendship High School.
Virginia found joy in the simple pleasures of life—birdwatching, crafting, and collecting recipes. Her culinary talents shined through her cooking and baking. Her greatest pride and joy, however, was her family. She devoted her life to her daughter and grandchildren, who were the center of her world and the light of her heart.
Virginia was a former member of TOPS.
She was preceded in death by her beloved parents, Elmer Skirowski Sr. & Blanche Smith; brother, Elmer Skirowski Jr.; uncle, Stanley Skirowski; and several other dear family members.
Virginia’s legacy lives on through her loving daughter, Robyn (Don) Skelton; cherished grandchildren, Dallas (KayLee) King, Donald Skelton Jr., and Dawson Skelton; chosen sister, Birdie (Rick) Johnson; and dear friends, Bev Wolff and Carole Bain. She is also survived by many other relatives and friends.
In lieu of flowers, memorials to Virginia’s family in her honor would be gratefully appreciated. Thank you for all of your kindness and support during this difficult time.
