Genevieve Eola (Moody) Skiles passed on Wednesday, June 7, 2017, at the Redlands Community Hospital. She was 95. She is now with her husband of 65 years, the Rev. J. Warner Skiles Jr., and her granddaughter Elizabeth Bucha. She is survived by her four children, 10 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren, with one on the way.

A 1943 graduate of the University of Redlands, Mrs. Skiles taught elementary school in several Southern California districts until her retirement in 1985. She and her husband then moved to Idyllwild, where they were both active in Rotary and involved in many other church and community activities.

In 2006, they left their high-altitude paradise and moved to the Plymouth Village senior community in Redlands where, again, they both participated in local events and happenings.

We will miss her warm smiles, loving hugs and open heart.

Memorial services and internment are pending.
