Judith Skouge Obituary
Judith Arleen Skouge, a loving wife and mother and cherished member of her community, passed away peacefully on October 17, 2025, at the Forsythe Hospice House in Auburndale, Florida.
Born on February 17, 1941, in Benton, Arkansas, she leaves behind a legacy built on love, compassion, and dedication to her family and faith. She was a proud member of Grace Lutheran Church, where she contributed her time and spirit, fostering connection and fellowship among her fellow parishioners.
She is survived by her loving husband, Rich Skouge; her grandchildren, Anna Pettit and Nick Pettit, both of Camarillo, California; her son-in-law, Mark Pettit; and her many cousins, all of who held her dear.
Judith was preceded in death by her parents, Harvey and Arleen Fehling, and her beloved daughter, Melissa Pettit.
The family will receive friends from 10:00 a.m. until the memorial service at 11:00 a.m., Friday, October 24, 2025 at Grace Lutheran Church (327 Avenue C SE, Winter Haven, Florida 33880) with Pastor Steven Braun officiating. Condolences can be sent to the family at www.marionnelsonfuneralhome.com.
