Bio
Evelyn Seffek Skellie, 93, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, December 20, 2022. She is survived by her children Blair Skellie of Alameda, California, Cindy and Ricky Wheeler of Marietta, GA, and Joel Skellie, of Houston, Texas. Her 5 grandchildren, Michael and Lauren Wheeler, Andrew, Samantha, and Jessica Skellie, and her great grandchildren, Emma and Wyatt Wheeler knew her as MeeMie. Evelyn was preceded in death by her parents, John and Frances Steffek, her 12 brothers and sisters, and her husband of 54 years, Albert Skellie. Evelyn grew up in a Czech family on a farm in Needville, Texas. She had a lifelong love for learing, was an excellent student, and was named Most Beautiful in her high school class. Evelyn moved to Houston where she attended business college and then went to work as a secretary for Schlumberger where she met Albert. In addition to raising their children, Albert and Evelyn enjoyed a full social life, including time spent with extended family and with friends, such as their long0time supper and bridge club. She was a member of St. John Vianney Catholic Church for over 50 years. She had a variety of interests including gardening, reading, politics, and history; she particularly loved reading or watching documentaries on World War II. Evelyn was known by her family and friends for her wonderful sense of humor, for being a night owl, for the yummy cookies she baked, and for her love of coffee and of Christmas! She was a devoted wife, mother, child, sister, aunt, grandmother, and great grandmother. Everyone who was fortunate to have her in their lives will miss her greatly.
