Statement
from House Republican Leader Richard
DeBolt on the passing of Rep. Mary Skinner
"We were truly
saddened to hear the news that we lost our friend Mary Skinner after her
courageous bout with cancer. Mary touched everyone who had the privilege
of knowing her and we were blessed to have her as a colleague and a
friend during her time in the House of Representatives.
"Mary's life was the
embodiment of compassion and integrity. She used her time in the
Legislature to fulfill her life's work as a committed public servant and
a champion of the less fortunate. She will be remembered for her
kindness and the manner in which she dedicated herself as an instrument
of God's love and Grace.
"Our thoughts
and prayers go out to Mary's family. Preceded in death by her husband
Hal, we are comforted by the thought of them reunited. We will miss Mary
tremendously and remember her with enduring fondness."
