Meet Maggie

Margaret Ann Skinner was born on February 15, 2005, in Los Angeles, California and passed away December 18, 2025. She was attending Baylor University and had plans to become a nurse at the time of her passing. She had a bright future but struggled with depression and we lost her in a moment of weakness. We wish we had known so we could have done more, but even in her darkest times she was always smiling. She was joyful, kind, generous and caring. She loved to travel and play games. She was competitive and fierce. She was a hard worker and loved to have a good time with friends. She will be missed beyond measure.
