Words cannot fully express the impact of a godly woman like Marie Snodgrass. I am so grateful to have been given the gift of marriage to her son, Rick, for almost 42 years. Marie wanted her son and family to know Christ. She strived to show the qualities of his love to them and others she met. Though none of us can be perfect here on earth, I believe she wanted to model excellence that would demonstrate her devotion to Christ. As our family traveled often in our church ministry, we lived mainly at a distance from our hometown of Gate City, Virginia. But, Marie and Harold, her husband, were there so many times, loving us and devoting themselves to our needs. I can think of few things more important than marriage longevity and love for family. What a blessing for those living here to have! Marie’s energy and enthusiasm were amazing. I remember fondly her daily habit of a 15 minute “power nap” as she called it. She was so excited to be a grandmother and loved our 8 children and 10 grandchildren! I know she touched many other lives with kindness and hospitality! I was a daughter-in-law who experienced her love and affection for me. Marie will be missed by so many here as we felt her love over her 84 years. But, one day, I look forward to seeing her again in the land that is fairer than day—In the Sweet By and By.
