Margaret Migl Sklar
Our dear sweet mother, grandmother, sister, and friend earned her heavenly wings January 1, 2020 at the age of 97.
Margaret Migl Sklar was born on December 12, 1922 in Yoakum, Texas to Rudolph and Mary Mikeska Migl. She married Ira Charles Sklar July 5, 1943. They were blessed with three children: daughter Gloria Koop (Lesley); sons Darrell Sklar -grandchildren, and 9 great-great-grandchildren.
Margaret was a member of Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Inez. She was also a member of Lutheran Church Women.
She is survived by sons Darrell and Ira Charles Sklar Jr. and sisters Lorene Howell and Marilyn Kerr.
She was preceded in death by her parents Rudolph and Mary Migl, husband Ira Sklar, daughter Gloria Koop, granddaughter Steffany Sklar, sister Alice Kornfuhrer, and brothers Rudy, Otto, George, Richard, Marvin, Ervin, Eugene, and Oscar Migl.
Margaret grew up in a farming family and was married to a farmer for 63 years. She was a loving and caring grandmother who was sure to give her grandchildren anything they wanted. If you were lucky enough to sit at a dinner table and partake in Margaret’s tasty cuisine, you hit the jackpot! She was an outstanding cook and passed on her cooking techniques to anyone who asked; although, the results were never as good as hers.
Throughout her life, her strong faith and love of God carried through times of sorrow and happiness. Our memories will be cherished forever, and she will be greatly missed. Visitation will be held on Sunday, January 5, 2020 from 5 to 7 p.m., in the Oaklawn Funeral Home of Edna. Funeral Ssrvice will begin at 10 a.m., Monday, January 6, also in the Oaklawn Funeral Home of Edna. Interment will follow in the Memory Gardens Cemetery of Edna.
