Silvie Mae Skidmore Duncan Isaacs, 83, of South Charleston passed into the loving arms of her Savior Jesus Christ on Monday, July 27, 2020 at Hubbard Hospice House after a long illness.
She was born on December 6, 1936 in Braxton County, WV, the daughter of the late James Harlan and Dollie Gay Davis Skidmore. She was a retired lab technician, homemaker and community worker.
After graduating from Washington District High School in 1954, she married the late John Lee Duncan. To that marriage were born Robin Lynn Duncan Kendall (Andy) of St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands, Debra Leigh Duncan of Belle, WV and Barbara Jean Duncan Bowe (Ronald Dee, II) of South Charleston, WV.
Silvie was widowed at age 23 when John Duncan was killed in a plane crash while serving his country in the US Air Force. Upon her return to West Virginia, she later met and married Renny V. Isaacs, Jr., who passed away in 2007. That marriage produced son Paul R. Isaacs, Sr. (Marsha) of South Charleston. Left to cherish the memories of their Nana are 12 grandchildren and numerous great grandchildren. Silvie is also survived by her brother Lambert G. Skidmore (Reba) of South Charleston and brother in law Ray F. Isaacs (Ruth) of Gallipolis, Ohio along with five nephews and one niece.
