Mrs. Sneff was a remarkable woman. She was striking in appearance, striking in intelligence, striking in her joy, and a striking presence for young girls struggling to find a place in a world that believed women’s roles were limited. She had a true partnership with her husband, and flourished in a diverse household teeming with talent, fostering curiosity in each of her children, no matter where it would lead. She was welcoming and warm, with boundless energy that kept her abreast of the varied activities of six children. As Wendy’s friend I was always welcomed, and developed a bit of hero worship for this vibrant woman who met life with an enthusiastic thirst for what comes next. I am so sorry that such a presence is now gone from the midst of this family, but am confident she has left a good part of herself behind as her kids and their kids live life on their terms.
Peaceful slumber, Mrs. Sneff. May choirs of angels sing thee to thy rest.
