    1. [S4] Obituary.
      SKINNER, Jeanne Southworth Fisher. Age 96, of Needham, formerly of West Newton and Groton, died peacefully May 6, 2011. Loving wife of the late Joseph Churchill Skinner and mother of the late Susan Kelen Gordon. Memories of Jeanne will be cherished by daughter Judith Bruggemann and her husband Charles of Rochester Hills, MI, son Richard Skinner and his wife Cat O’Reilly of Alachua, FL, grandsons Eric Bruggemann, Reid Bruggemann and Béla Kelen, and great-grandsons Isaac Kelen and Gabriel Bruggemann. Jeanne will be greatly missed by her sister-in-law Alice M. Fisher and nieces Anna Fisher and Deb Dalton.
       Jeanne was a lifelong and active Unitarian. Music was a joy to her whether she was singing, playing the recorder, piano or handbells, or recording Mozart. From childhood on, her time spent at an Appalachian Mountain Club island camp, and her years in Groton, exemplified her love of nature, the out-of-doors and land conservation. Jeanne was a collector of miniature books, and loved her library work, reading clubs, and the poetry of Robert Frost and Carl Sandburg. A lifetime member of The Mayflower Society and The New England Historical and Genealogical Society, she was also the family biographer. Her generous community involvement and pursuit of personal interests continued through all the Newton, Groton and North Hill years, including her love of bridge and the Red Sox.
       Loved and admired, she will be remembered as an independent, gentle- woman whose warmth, dignity, open heart and quiet depth resonated with all who knew her. A private family memorial service has been held.
       Memorial donations may be made to The Music Program, First Unitarian Society in Newton, 1326 Washington St., Newton, MA 02465. Condolences to the family may be sent to Eaton Funeral Home, 1351 Highland Ave., Needham, MA 02492.
