Skip was born on August 27, 1924, in Evansville, IN, to Hank and Katherine (Korressel) Bettag. In 1945 she married Robert Roy McCuiston. He preceded her in death in 1999.

I would like to take the time to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers. As you know mom was a friend to whoever she met. Young or old. She was truly an open and honest lady. If she had something to say, she would say it. Mom was a very lucky person to have so many friends in her life and so many stories to be able to tell. There are so many people that I would like to thank personally and hopefully in the next few days I will be able to do so. But I would like to introduce a friend of mom's who has stood by her for years. Mary May. Mary May called mom daily to see how she was. She sat at the bingo with her to help watch her cards. She would help mom every day that mom was able to go anywhere. Please remember Mary May in your prayers because she was a very special friend to Skip and the family. A funeral service will be held at 1:00 p.m., with visitation from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Tuesday, March 10, in Hahn Funeral Home, 505 W. 8th Street, Mishawaka, with Rev. John Enze officiating. Again thank you for your love, your thoughts and your prayers. It's time for bingo.
