Eldora Skiles, who was born in Gypsum and raised her family in Burns, died Sunday in Grand Junction. She was 86.
She was born in Gypsum on Aug. 31, 1920, to Terles A. (Penny) VanHorn and Earl VanHorn. She spent her childhood in Gypsum.
She was married to Joseph Albert Skiles for 50 years. They lived for most of those years in Burns, where they raised their family.
Skiles was a wife, a mother, homemaker, writer, artist, photographer and historian. For 10 years she worked as the postmaster in Burns.
Skiles always preferred being outdoors doing ranch work rather than being stuck in the house with the domestic chores, family members said.
In later years she took great pride in being known as "The Doll Lady" for the one-of-a-kind dolls she made, family members said.
She was preceded in death by her parents, her brother, Ernest, her sister, Dorothy, and her husband, Albert.
She is survived by three daughters, Johnnie (Lynn) Pittman of Grand Junction, Christy (Ed) Godeski of Glenwood Springs, and Lois Crook of Jacksonville, Fla.;, and three sons, Earl (Sandy) Skiles of Burns, Ed (Wendy) Forrester of Orlando, Fla., and Tom (Alice) Woodrum of Fort Collins. She also is survived by 14 grandchildren and 17 great grandchildren.
Services will be held Thursday at the Eagle Baptist Church, 14600 Highway 6 in Eagle. The viewing is at 10 a.m. and the service at 11 a.m.
In lieu of flowers the family requests donations be made to Hospice of Grand Junction.

- Obituary (The Daily Sentinel, Grand Junction, CO, June 4, 2013)
Earl Owen Skiles passed away suddenly on May 30, 2013, at Presbyterian St. Luke's Hospital in Denver. Earl was born December 22, 1945, in Denver to Joseph Albert Skiles and Eldora Evelyn Skiles. He grew up in Burns, Colorado which is where his heart always remained. Following his graduation from high school he joined the Army as a helicopter mechanic in Vietnam. Earl spent 33 years working as a Denver firefighter. He always considered himself one of the luckiest men in the world to be a fireman. He always said, "It never felt like a job and there never was a day when I dreaded going to work". His fellow firefighters were always his second family. He always loved his brothers. Earl enjoyed his retirement years. He always had plenty of things around his Burns home and his Grandparents 800 acre homestead to keep him busy. He filled some of those days working part time for Hertz at the Eagle County Airport. (Another "job" he loved.) Earl was very interested in politics and doing his civic duty by working as a polling judge on Election Day. Earl was married to Sandra (Grosjean) on January 5, 1992. His combined family with Sandy was very important to him. is grandkids were his best bragging topic. Earl is preceded in death by both of his parents and his grandparents. He is survived by his wife, Sandy; children, Glen (April) Skiles; Greg Skiles; Charlene (Dave) Rogers, and Sam (Amy) Boles; his grandchildren, Caitlyn, Aislinn, Kiley, Makayla, and Nathan Skiles, Michaella and Maggie Rogers, Alec Smith, Samuel, Bailee, Hayden, and Westin Boles; his siblings, Ed (Wendy) Forrester, Lois Crook, Tom (Alice) Woodrum, Johnnie (Lynn) Pittman, and Christie (Ed) Godeski, and numerous nieces and nephews. Earl will be missed by those of us left behind, but he will be saving us a seat in heaven. Services will be held Wednesday, June 5, 2013, at 10:00 a.m. at Olinger-Highlands Mortuary located at 10201 Grant Street, Thornton, CO 80229. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Retired Firefighters Association of Denver.
