Dorothy Jean Skaggs, age 102

Dorothy Jean Skaggs, age 102, of Fairborn, OH went home to be with the Lord on Monday, October 2, 2023.  She was born in London, Kentucky on February 17, 1921 to the late George and Susan Maupin.  She was married to her loving husband of seventy-three years, Donald Skaggs, until they were parted by his death on January 8, 2016.
