Mackenzie SKEIE Obituary

February 4, 1947 – April 13, 2025

Mackenzie Lee Skeie, 78, passed away peacefully on April 13, 2025, in Spokane, Washington. Born on February 4, 1947, in Corvallis, Oregon, Mackenzie lived a life full of love, creativity, and devotion to her family.

She is survived by her loving husband, Randy Skeie; her sons, Kurt and Derrick McMichael; and her eight cherished grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her beloved daughter, Terrina Marchant.

Mackenzie was a woman of warmth, joy, and boundless energy. She found her greatest happiness in time spent with family, hosting game nights, sharing laughter, and making memories at her treasured beach home in Seaside, Oregon. Her passion for home design and decorating was evident in every space she touched, and her love for plants filled her life with beauty and growth. A devoted Christian, her faith was a guiding light in all she did.

A celebration of Mackenzie's life will be held at her home on May 31, at 12:00 p.m., where friends and family are welcome to gather, share memories, and honor her incredible spirit.

Mackenzie was a bright light in the world, and her kindness, creativity, and love will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
