Dolores "Dee" Skopinski (Koepfinger) of Youngsville, formerly of West Hickory and Moon Township, Nov. 21, 1933 - Sept. 19, 2025.

In my own words: I had a wonderful life, beginning with my caring and loving parents, Ted and Hannah (Heiliman) Koepfinger. I was blessed to be able to spend 52 years with the love of my life, Joe "Spike" Skopinski, before he passed on in 2006. I consider the greatest accomplishments in my life to be my children, Joe Jr. (Robin), Taffi, and Ted (Celina). They have all made me so proud, and we have shared many happy times together. Also surviving is a brother, Ted Koepfinger, Jr. (Robin) and many nieces and nephews. In addition to my husband and parents, I was preceded in death by my sisters, Teddy Arthurs, Ellen Von Stein and Helen Goss, and also my granddaughters, Amanda and Jacqueline Skopinski. Please do not shed a tear for me. I will be spending eternity with my family and friends, and the many furry pets that have gone before me.

At my request, there will be no service. In lieu of flowers – be happy, love one another, and be kind to animals. Final Arrangements are under the direction of the Norman J. Wimer Funeral Home of Tionesta, PA.
