Sue Ellen
Dec. 10, 1947 ~ Sept. 9, 2022 (age 74)
Sue Ellen (nee McHail) Skillings was born in Pittsburgh, PA, on December 10, 1947. She is the beloved mother of Alan (Michelle) Skillings and Diana (Jeremy) Smith; adoring grandmother of Katherine, Wyatt and Grant Skillings and Dillon, Austin, Madi and Logan Smith; dear sister of Mark McHail and the late Kim Young.
Sue was very loved in the Oxford community and had many dear friends, whom she treasured. She was very active with Oxford Presbyterian Church where she was a longtime member. Sue was also known by community and Miami University Alumni alike as both an MU graduate and a Professor in the Mathematics Department for over 30 years. She was a bright and shining light in the lives of her family, church and friends as well as the students she taught throughout the years. She will be deeply missed.
A celebration of life for Sue will be held on Saturday, October 8th, at 3:00 PM at the Oxford Presbyterian Church Seminary Building, (104 E. Church Street.) in Oxford, Ohio.

To Alan and Diana. Myself and our entire Nelson family are so sorry to hear this terrible news. We knew and loved your mom since you were our neighbors on Joseph Drive all those years ago. Our sincere condolences. Lois and Erika Nelson

I was a professor at Miami during the same time Sue was. I also attended the Oxford Presbyterian Church as did she. I did not know Sue real well but I always found her to be a kind and thoughtful person who would do anything to help you. I am sad she has passed. God bless her.

Sue and I met on day one of first grade, and have enjoyed a lifelong friendship. When we talked and visited it was always special. She was a wonderful lady, and l´ll miss her very much. My thoughts and prayers are with her family and all who loved her. Lottie Aepli
