Obituary

Alton M. "Skip" Heath, 81, of Hollis, passed away peacefully on June 25th, 2025, at Gosnell Memorial Hospice House after a brief illness. Skip was born in Canastota, NY, to Alton Sr. and Florence Heath and grew up on the family farm in Chittenango, which had been in the Heath family for generations. After graduating from Chittenango High School, Skip attended Bentley School of Accounting & Finance (now Bentley University), and subsequently began a 30-year career with Smith-Corona Marchant (SCM), retiring in 1995 as a Vice President of Internal Audit. Skip's work took him to Cortland, NY, and Phoenixville, PA, before retiring to Hot Springs Village, AR. Throughout his life, Skip enjoyed spending time outdoors with family and friends. Whether skiing the slopes or playing a round of golf, he made lasting memories in the company of loved ones. He also held a deep appreciation for animals and was inseparable from his beloved Cavanese dog, Buddy, who passed away in 2024. Skip is survived by sons David Heath of Hollis, his wife Kelley, and their children Asa and Sarah; Jason Heath of Hummelstown, PA, his wife Angela, and their children Bailey, Tyler, and Noah; David and Jason's mother, Jan Stinson of Hershey, PA; and a daughter Susanna Lombardi of Wallingford, CT, and her children Joseph and Isabella. Skip was predeceased by his parents, Alton Sr. and Florence (née Ward), and his sister, Joyce. As a man of unwavering faith, Skip lived a long and full life and was confident in his ultimate reunion with God. A celebration of his life will be held on July 20th at 2:00 pm at Standish Congregational Church in Standish, ME. A graveside service will take place on July 14th at 2:00 pm at Oakwood Cemetery in Chittenango, NY, for family and local friends. Skip received compassionate care and comfort from the staff at Gosnell Memorial Hospice House in Scarborough, ME, and the family encourages donations to Hospice of Southern Maine (or other local hospice organizations) in his memory.
