Not sure what to say?

Evelyn was so dear a sister-in-law to Ed and Beverly Skei, my late father- and mother-in-law, and beloved Aunt Evie to my late husband Michael Skei and me. Always so warm, welcoming, and delightful, she was a fabulous hostess at her beautiful home and garden We loved her so. My kids Evan and Ingrid and I celebrate her long life and will miss her.

Evelyn and Bill were the leading force in creating St Barts in Beaverton and their presence will always be felt. Evelyn was always kind and their home a welcome place. I will always have fond memories of having known them.

Dear Skeis: We have so many wonderful memories of Evelyn and your whole family!! God's peace and comfort be all over you. Terry and Peggy Crawford

Dear Skei family. Evelyn and Bill were faithfull members of St. Barts Episcopal Church and good friends of fellow members along with Fred and Phoebe Gayor. Also the Skei's, were serious sailors who cruised on their 44' sailboat to Alaska and Mexico. They were a fun couple that loved adventure together. May God comfort and bless the Skei family. Craig Hull, fellow sailor.
