Eloise Waters Skipper
March 4, 1923 — January 1, 2016
E
loise Waters Skipper, 92 celebrated the New Year by going home to live with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on January 1, 2016.
She was born on March 4, 1923 in Hardee County, FL. She was the eldest daughter of F. Blucher and Bertha Waters. Her husband, Louis Skipper and her sisters, Kathryn and Joyce all preceded her to heaven. She was a descendent of Polk County pioneers and spent the last 33 years of her life in the close knit community of Bereah, moving from Tampa.
Eloise was an example of Christian love to her family and friends. She loved the mountains, children, her church and Southern Gospel music, but above all Jesus. Her sweet smile will surely be missed.
She is survived by her son, David Skipper (Yvonne), 2 granddaughters, Sharon Luttrull (Steve) and Karen Lockhart (Don), 2 great-grandchildren, Justin Luttrull (Gaby) and Jessica Luttrull along with numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and an aunt, Hazel Townsend.
Funeral services will be held on Wednesday, 1/6/2016 at 11:00 am at Athens Baptist Church, 6510 W Bereah Rd, Ft Meade FL with visitation 1 hour prior to the service. Interment will be at Fort Green Baptist Cemetery, Ft Green, FL.
