ROCKY MOUNT - Elsie Skinner Inscoe passed away Saturday, July 7, 2012 at Sterling House of Rocky Mount at the age of 93. She was born November 21, 1918 to the late Harry and Hattie Skinner. In addition to her parents she was preceded in death by her daughter Betty Joyce Inscoe, husband Elwood Inscoe, sisters Mary Johnson and Nanny Radford.
She was a member of Marvin United Methodist Church and was very active with the church until her health declined. Elsie was known for her hospitality and her loving and giving nature to anyone that passed through her home. She and her daughter Betty Joyce had a daycare in their home and took care of many children, who later came back with their children to visit with Mrs. Elsie. Elsie was a homemaker for 60 plus years and loved every minute of it.
Elsie leaves to cherish her memory, her sisters Jean Coley of VA., and Mildred Dozier of Rocky Mount. Elsie had several nieces and nephews who all loved her and she will be greatly missed.
The family would like to thank Dr. Browder and his staff, the staff of Sterling House and sitters Annette Moody, Julia Millhouse, and Tarshica Richardson for their love, care and support to Elsie and to Elsie's family. The residents of Sterling House were very special to Elsie and their friendship to her meant a great deal to the family, thank you all.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
To the family of Elsie, I was very sorry to hear about your loss. I know you will miss her dearly as well as cherish the many memories. It is times like these that we need much in the way of support and comfort and I look to God’s Word the Bible for both, and I find scriptures such as 2Corinthians 13,4 which shows how the God of Comfort will give you the courage and the strength to cope. Psalms 5522 assures us of God’s love by allowing us to throw all of our burdens on him, and both John 1125 and John 528,29 speaks of the resurrection hope, something we hold out for our dear loved ones. I hope these scriptures help you as they have for me. My thoughts and prayers will be with you in this most difficult time.
