As an Irish Catholic, Snookie’s religion and faith played a large part in her life through prayers, intentions, novenas and rosaries. Her prayers were dedicated to family, friends and for peace and good in the world. We probably owe her some prayers today. Her sisters were her best friends. She enjoyed decorating homes, shopping (getting a deal), politics, baking cakes, cookies and pies. Most of all she enjoyed family and having a good laugh. She will be missed by family and friends but hopefully will be remembered by the fun she had with one and all.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made on behalf of Alzheimer’s research in her name to https://www.alz.org/. Please share online condolences with the family at www.loudounfuneralchapel.com.
