Mrs. Skinner, 66, of Chunky, passed away December 5, 2016.

Evelyn was born in Jackson, Mississippi and spent her childhood there. She traveled the south extensively before starting her family and settling in Meridian. Evelyn had an adventurous and infectious spirit that she shared with everyone she ever met. She nurtured her passions in gardening, photography, and baking, but her greatest joy was her family.

She was preceded in death by her parents, James Lee and Agnes Lorraine Anderson.
