Skip was an avid tennis player, but also loved to ski, cycle, mountain bike, scuba dive, hike, camp, and travel. She had lifelong friends that she had many adventures with. She was a strong, determined, intelligent and loving woman. She loved animals and took part in training and competing with her german shepard, Frisco, as a young adult. She worked hard and played hard. She was a great friend and mother to her 2 children. Family vacation memories included countless ski trips to her brother's condo in Jackson Hole and his lake house in Connecticut as well as trips to her parents in Nuevo, CA and sister in Cerritos, CA.

Dementia took her mind and eventually her body. She is and will continue to be greatly missed.

She is survived by her son, Grant Beck; daughter, Robyn Mitchell; 3 grandchildren and 1 great-grandchild.
