Shirley J. Skowronek

Shirley J. Skowronek (Sam), age 70, went to her final rest with all her family by her side.  She was born on March 6, 1946 to the late Vivian Streitenberger and Lewis (Dottie) Huffines.  Shirley was preceded in death by her loving husband, Harry J. Skowronek Jr., brothers, Elmer Howard and Jake Rapp; sister, Linda Sherman.  She is survived by her children, Joe (Leola) Skowronek and Vickie (John) Bittinger; sister, Vicki (Gale) McNeal; grandchildren, Casey (Desiree Varney), Jessica, Erica and Joseph Skowronek; great grandchildren, Arianna Jaxson and Elena Skowronek.

She had a passion and a green thumb with her flowers and house plants.  She always enjoyed having company, laughter and happy times.  She was a fantastic cook and loved to entertain!  She will be greatly missed by many including her special sister, Vicki McNeal, who was always at her beck and call day or night and also, her sister-in-law, Becky Howard, who truly was her dearest best friend and confidante with whom she could laugh deeply with for hours.

A graveside funeral service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on  Monday, Sept. 26, 2016 at the Harrison Twp. Cemetery, South Bloomfield, Ohio.   In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in memory of Shirley to: American Lung Association in Ohio, Columbus Chapter, 5900 Wilcox Place, Dublin, OH 43016.
