Susann "Sue" M. Skinner

Susann (Sue) M. Skinner, 63, of Batavia, OH, and formerly of Eldorado, Ohio beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and co-worker, died February 21, 2006 after a year-long battle with kidney cancer. Sue was a ten-year employee of Ohio Heart and Vascular Center in Montgomery, OH and worked most of her adult life as a medical transcriptionist.
