Rebecca SNAPP Obituary

SNAPP, Rebecca Lee

Rebecca Lee Snapp (Rebecca Rose Skydancer), was born September 3, 1953, to George Schwab and Marilyn Byrum Hobbs of Dayton, OH. She attended Fairmont High School and earned an associate degree in Nursing from Sinclair Community College. Rebecca was an enthusiastic sculptor and spent many happy summers traveling to renaissance fairs throughout the country selling her art. She even owned her own booth – Fairie Potteree – at the Ohio Renaissance Festival. She is survived by her children (Laura, Larissa (Lacey), Ian, and Evan), their spouses (Kurt Brainard, Leonard (Lenny) Cluley, and Mary Snapp), grandchildren (Evelynn, Caroline, Noelle, Nathan, Erynn, Molly, Melia, and Ryland), former husband (Donald Snapp), and her siblings (Kristy Nikkola, Brian Schwab, and Steve Schwab). She is preceded in death by her parents and her daughter Holly Snapp Lycans. Rebecca passed away June 25, 2021. Donations in her memory can be made to the RESCU Foundation (https://rescufoundation.org). A memorial tree and plaque will be planted in Lincoln Park in Kettering.

Rebecca was a kind soul. I was a caregiver of hers that came to her home and spent several hours a week with her. While she looked around at her accomplished sculptures, proudly displayed in her home and her beloved corgi lying at her feet, she spoke of her fondest memories; and some tough ones.

We would watch Grace and Frankie, YouTube videos about Corgis and her daughter Holly.

Before leaving her care, she gave me a gift; a book. In return, I gave her a book of my poetry. She called me a month later and I wasnt able to answer at that time, but called the next day. She never called back.

She was not only a person I took care of, she was an inspiration and a beautiful soul. She touched my life and I hope I did hers also.

See you again, dear Rebecca.

Fly high, sweet soul sister. I will take you with me, in my heart with joy, every time I swim with our beloved Manatees, and will hold you in my heart forever.
My heart goes out to all who love Rebecca, and have sent prayers up on Sacred Smoke for your comfort. Until we meet again, my one snort sister, I love you.

I have many fond memories of Rebecca from ORF. Our birthdays were six days apart and happened during the faire season. We always celebrated each other. The best was the year she turned 50 and I turned 25. We threw a big silver and gold party. She was an incredible woman. I feel lucky to have known her.

We didn't know Rebecca well, having only met her a couple of times, but knew her through her son Ian. She raised a kind, thoughtful, intelligent, caring son who we are privileged to be able call our nephew-in-law. She will be remembered through her art and her family

Becky was a wonderful, talented and very intelligent person! She was a very caring and loving person as well. I was shocked and saddened to learn of her passing. My sympathies to her family and friends!
