About Wanda Louise (Hall) Skousen
Our beloved mother, grandmother, and sister passed away peacefully at home on April 18, 2025. She was surrounded by her six children and many other family members. She was 86 years old. Wanda was born on May 26, 1938 to Minor Wiltbank Hall and Wanda Hulsey Hall in Eagar, Arizona. She grew up in Eagar and graduated from Round Valley High School.
Wanda was a devoted disciple of Jesus Christ in word and deed. She loved serving in the Church and in the community. She, alongside her husband, Richard, served several full-time missions together for the Church. She is a blessed and honored woman of God, who is now crowned with the angels of heaven and returned to be with her husband and family.
Wanda is survived by her children: Richard (Kelli) Skousen, Michael (Lachelle) Skousen, Shawna (Chris) Baker, Jack (Chrissy) Skousen, Kristen (David) Spuhler, and Amy (Nathan) Yetter, 43 grandchildren, and 36 great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her sisters, Colleen and Madeline. She was preceded in death by her parents, her sister Wiladene, her 2 brothers – Max and Minor Lloyd – and her beloved husband, Richard.
We are so blessed to have had her in our lives as the matriarch of our family; we look forward to the time when we will be with her again. Wanda’s family, faith and testimony of our Savior Jesus Christ were her greatest joys in life and will be remembered as her greatest legacy.
Funeral services will be held on Wednesday, April 23rd at 11 AM preceded by a visitation from 9 to 11 AM at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Hermosa Groves building 2549 North 32nd Street Mesa, Arizona 85213. Interment will follow at the City of Mesa Cemetery.

Wanda- Our adventures always made me smile, to shopping, watching fireworks, looking for horses, going to the temple, and watching Grandpa Jack with his infamous mustache, and so many more. We had fun! Your sense of humor was always spot on. Your giggles were infectious and your smile was the highlight of my day! Your wisdom and advice were always welcomed. Your love and appreciation were always felt. This season we shared together will be remembered always. Thank you, my dear friend, for your Christlike love, example, and your ability to always make me smile and feel appreciated. My life is so much better having you in it. Happy dancing, Wanda Louise! I love you always!

I love Wanda so much. She was always so kind to me. I’m African American. She told of an experience she had with the Harlem Globe trotters. What a wonderful story.
I treated her home for many years for pest control. She didn’t like the scorpions very much. Each time as I was leaving she would say, Arvey did you get them all. Even up to last month when I last treated.I sure hope to see her again.

Wanda was an elect lady. She served with her husband in the Philippines. Always smiling, serving, and sacrificing, she blessed so many lives. This dynamic couple was so respected and loved. We are forever thankful for them.

Wanda was such a special friend for so many years in the 30th ward. We traveled together with Wanda and Dick to many of the church sites. She was loved by everyone, and will be missed! Prayers are sent to the family, and I hope you will feel peace as you go through this difficult time.

Our family loved this special lady as our neighbor and friend and our hearts go out to the big wonderful Skousen family. That Eagar foundation helped build a great wife, mother and friend to all.

To the family, my heartfelt condolences for your loss. Please find comfort in the knowledge that God promises to eliminate all the things that have plagued mankind for centuries including pain, suffering and death (Revelation 21:3, 4). May these promises from God give you comfort now and real hope for the future. My deepest sympathy.
