Skaer
Georgie K. Skaer, 97, Augusta, homemaker, passed away on Sunday, Jan. 15, 2006.
A memorial service will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 18 at the First Methodist Church in Augusta.
She was born on Jan. 4, 1909 in Ellsworth, the daughter of Edward and Emma Purma.
While still young, her family moved to Yocemento, where she started her schooling in a one-room school house.
Her teenage years were spent in Grinnell, where she finished high school. During those years, she was active in sports, school musicals and local activities. Georgie received her Bachelor of Science degree in commerce and business administration from Kansas State University in Hays. She was active in women’s glee club, drama club, and various functions associated
with Delta Sigma Epsilon social sorority.
She also taught school in her hometown, Grinnell, and Oakley.

During the years her sons, Dean and Richard were growing up, her time was spent at home.
She later was employed by Beech Aircraft for 17 years as a secretary and statistical typist in the accounting department. Her main concern was making a home for her family. She was a member of the First United Methodist Church and the Women’s Society.
Georgie had great interest in playing golf and traveling, when she was able. She knitted children’s toys that were given to many children as special gifts. Oil painting was a special hobby, which she especially enjoyed. All of these activities contributed to a close association with many friends, whom she held dear.
She leaves: two sons, Dean A. Skaer and wife,
Sharon of Little Rock, Ark., and Richard E. Skaer and wife, Carol of Grand Junction, Colo.; brother, John Purma of Ft. Collins, Colo.; 12 grandchildren; numerous great-grandchildren.
