Elvon Teuscher Skinner, 75, passed away on October 18 while surrounded by the love of her family after a valiant battle with Lewy Body dementia. Elvon was born to Alvin and Irene Teuscher on March 22, 1941 in Montpelier, Idaho. Adored by her parents, grandparents, and dear friends she grew up on a beautiful ranch in Geneva, Idaho where she attended a one room schoolhouse. She helped her mom cook meals for farm workers and could be found helping her dad on the ranch, often nursing bum lambs. Elvon attended Bear Lake High where she met the love of her life, Lynn Skinner. Graduating in 1958, they both attended Utah State University where they were sealed for time and all eternity in the Logan, Utah LDS Temple on September 15, 1960. Elvon earned her bachelors in elementary education and in 1962 they moved to Rexburg, Idaho where they became an integral part of the community through their work in the Madison School District. Elvon put her career on hold as they welcomed their precious daughter, Tera Lyn (Schwartz) into their home in 1963. Elvon unselfishly devoted her life to her family as two boys, Marc and Matthew, were also born into the Skinner family. In 1971 they moved their family to Moscow, Idaho where Lynn accepted a faculty position in music education at the University of Idaho.
