Maurine Skougard

Maurine Skougard Maurine "Moe" G. Skougard, Las Vegas, died peacefully Friday, April 5, 2024, at the Legacy Memory Care Facility in Las Vegas, Nevada. Her sons Gary and Mark sat beside her as she took her last breath. She was 88 years old. Maurine was born August 4, 1935, in Panguitch, to S. Lamar and Clara Giles Worthen. She grew up in Panguitch on her family's farm. She met the love of her life Lawrence Marvin Skougard in Parowan and married him March 9, 1952. She and her husband moved to Las Vegas, Nevada, where they built a loving home to raise their three sons, Glen, Gary and Mark. Maurine worked in the banking industry for 30 years, retiring from Nevada State Bank as Vice President of Operations in 1995. Many knew her as Moe or Momma Moe. Maurine was also an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She loved her church and her church callings. But above all else, Maurine's love for her family served as her greatest gift of all. She had a sparkle in her eye when she was with her family. Her greatest title was Grandma. Maurine left a lasting impression with all those she crossed paths with, and she will be forever loved and missed by all who knew her. She is survived by her three sons, Gary W. (Denise) Skougard and Mark W. Skougard (Kathy-deceased 2018), all Las Vegas, Nevada; and Marvin Glen Skougard, Richfield; sister, Etta (Steve) Stephens, Blufdale; and 13 grandchildren, 32 great grandchildren, 4 great-great-grandchildren and many nieces, nephews and cousins. Maurine was preceded in death by her husband of 51 years, Lawrence Marvin Skougard (2003); her parents, S. Lamar and Clara Giles Worthen; and her siblings, Jerry Worthen, Scott Worthen, and Karen Nay, and their spouses. Funeral Services are scheduled for Saturday, April 20, at the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 1825 North Hollywood Blvd. in Las Vegas, Nevada. The visitation will be from 9 to 11 a.m. with the funeral service until 12:30 p.m. Graveside services and burial are scheduled for Wednesday, April 24, at 11 a.m. at the Panguitch Cemetery at 290 South Cemetery Road in Panguitch. Maurine's family would like to thank the staff and caregivers at the Legacy House at North Durango in Las Vegas, Nevada, and her team of nurses from Brighton Hospice for all their support and the loving care they gave to Maurine and our family. The phrase "Love one another" is so wise and powerful. By loving one another, we invest in each other and ourselves. Perhaps someday, when we need someone to care for us, it may not come from the person we expect, but from the person we least expect. God bless our caregivers and nurses. We love you, the Skougard Family. Utah Funeral directors, Magleby Mortuary, Richfield, Salina and Manti. Online guestbook at maglebymortuary.com.
