In Remembrance of Beth Ann Skermon

In Remembrance

It is with sadness that we report the death of Beth Ann Skermon a former resident who lived on the east side of the park for the last fourteen years. Beth passed away in her sleep early on Friday morning the 16th of January. She leaves behind a son, Zachery age 40 who lives in Manchester, New Hampshire. Beth was born in upstate; New York January 26,1952. Her mother was a nurse and her stepdad was a toolmaker. They moved to San Diego around 1969 and Beth went to Madison High in her senior year. In the late 1980’s, she was involved n a serious car accident which left her permanently disabled. Over the years she had to undergo many surgeries (back, neck, etc).

Beth was a very intelligent lady who had her successful cleaning business for several years until her worsening disability forced her to give it up. She was also a very good cook, doing Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners until she no longer could. She was very talented in making crafts, anything from jewelry, clothing, decorative trees and much more.

Beth was very much an animal lover and in fact had a special gift in working with and caring for animals. Her beloved rescue dog, Brownie, is still with us.

Beth had an outgoing, extravert personality. From time to time, she had to go into a rehab facility. While there, she would walk around and visit the other patients, giving them much needed encouragement. Her religious belief was Christian, trusting in Jesus Christ for her salvation. Much more could be said but for now, we conclude by saying she will be missed.
