Mildred "Skip" English, 92, passed away due to natural causes on Tuesday, June 25, 2024, in St. Vincent Hospital in Billings.  Funeral services will be at 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday, July 2, 2024, at Fifth Avenue Christian Church with Pastor Rick Hodshire officiating.  Burial will follow in Highland Cemetery.  Skip's family has suggested memorial donations be made in her memory to the Care & Comfort Home or the charity of the donor's choice.  Holland & Bonine Funeral Home has been entrusted with services and arrangements.

Skip was born on February 19, 1932, to Irvin and Christina Walker, and was raised on the family farm north of Hingham.  Skip married at a very young age and was a stay-at-home mom while raising her five kids.  In later years, she went to work in the kitchen at Northern Montana Hospital.

Skip's passion was making muffins and handing them out to family, friends, or basically anyone who came down the street.  She always enjoyed spending time with her family and friends, and she enjoyed sitting at Carpenter Park visiting with the kids.  She spent many hours watching the deer and squirrels from her window at the Care & Comfort Home.  Skip's favorite pastime was watching boxing, rodeos, and Danny O'Donnell on TV.  She always looked forward to her visits with her very special friend and coffee buddy, Mary Wagner.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Irvin and Christina Walker; son, Ben (Mary) Turner; daughter, Gloria Leeds; sisters, Dorothy (Gary) Butcher and Margaret (Frank) Huestis; and brothers, Elmer Walker and Clyde (Mary Ann) Walker.

Skip is survived by her daughters, Velda Nicholls, Donna (Vaughn) DeLeeuw, and Linda (Larry) Nitz; 10 grandchildren; many great-grandchildren; several great-great-grandchildren; brother, Ed (Joanne) Walker; sister, Vyonne Mosher; and numerous nieces and nephews.
