This is where she found her love of the Chinese language and found love and support. She always had a smile and a kind word. She always loved playing board games with her grandchildren when they came over to visit. She was a true kid at heart with a great sense of humor. Her hobbies of knitting, quilting and crocheting gave her a perfect past time to spend making things for others. She was preceded in death by her parents, Evan and Lorine Jennings; husband, James Edward Snodgrass; one sister, Patricia Roberson; and two brothers, Charles Weyland and Allen Weyand. She is survived by three daughters, Cindy D. Wagner and husband Robert of St. James, Missouri Sherry M. Lotzer and husband Richard of Rolla Missouri and Julie Jones of Monett, Missouri; son, Raymond J. Warren; grandchildren, Brandon Thesing, Imari Pelfrey, Gabrelle Jones, Sebastian Jones, and Beverly Jones; one great grandchild, Alex Thesing; other relatives and friends. Memorial service celebrating Mary's life will be conducted via zoom conference at 2 p.m. on Sunday, March 7, 2021. To attend email MarySnodgrassMemorial@yahoo. com for login and password information.
