1916 ~ 2014
Evelyn Turner Snow passed away peacefully on September 1, 2014 at a retirement home in Spanish Fork, Utah. She was born on a family farm in Sutherland (near Delta, Utah) on December 5, 1916 - the 4th of 12 children born to her pioneering parents Reuben and Cora Turner. The large family had no electricity, carried water from a well, and cooked and heated water on a wood-burning stove. It was a close and loving family. They raised sugar beets, milked cows, and ate well from a large garden.
Evelyn married her late husband Spencer Forsyth Snow of St. George, Utah on April 15, 1935 and spent the remainder of her life in St. George.
Evelyn helped organize the first Pink Ladies at Dixie Medical Center; she participated in church activities and sang in several choirs. She was known for her abundant love of family, dedicated friendships, and kindness to others. Evelyn had a keen interest in people and regularly wrote cards and letters to her family and many friends; she consistently remembered and acknowledged their birthdays and other special occasions.
She is survived and lovingly remembered by her three sons and daughters-in-law, Edward H. (Idonna Eagar) Snow, Gary S. (Janeanne Tippetts) Snow, and Jack T. (Jan Clayson) Snow, 9 grandchildren, and 11 great-grandchildren.
The family would like to sincerely thank the Spanish Fork Nursing and Rehab staff for their excellent and loving care for Evelyn during the past 16 months, and they express special thanks to Evelyn's son Jack and his wife Jan for the compassionate care, time and love they provided to Evelyn while she was in Spanish Fork.
Funeral services will be held in St. George, Utah at Spilsbury Mortuary on Monday, September 8 at 11:00, a viewing will be held from 9:30-10:30 am prior to services. Interment will take place in the St. George City Cemetery.
Arrangements are made under the direction of Spilsbury Mortuary, (435) 673-2454. Friends and family are invited to sign Evelyn's guestbook at www.spilsburymortuary.com.

I send my condolences to the Snow family at this time of loss. Though I didn't know Evelyn, I often heard stories of Uncle Reub and Aunt Cora from my mother, Helen Jean Hudson Witbeck, a cousin to Evelyn. (Her mother was Alverda Turner, Reub's sister.) I look forward to meeting her on the other side. She sounds like she was a lovely woman.
With sincere regards, Wendy Killpack

We send our sympathies to all the Snow family at this time. Evelyn was a gentle, loving woman. We will surely miss her. So happy, though, that she is with her loved ones on the other side.

We are in Salt Lake for the wedding of our granddaughter and won't be able to attend the service. We send our love to Eddie, Gary, Jack, and their families.

Sadly,I haven't seen my cousin, Eveyly, for many years. I loved her mother and father, Aunt Cora and Uncle Rube. One could always tell when Uncle Rube was coming by his whistle and Aunt Cora made me feel special whenever I would visit. I am sure that Evelyn was a lovely lady, I wish I could have known her better.
My condolences to the family.
Sincerely, Paula Turner Barney

I'm no longer in Dixie, but my thoughts and prayers are with your Snow Family. We may weep, but there is a happy reunion in that new life now your parents are together again. Much love, Sharlene Snow Lyman

I remember Evelyn and Spencer from my childhood visits to St. George, though I did not know them well or see them often. I have one memory I'd like to share. My parents moved from St. George in 1996 to live with me in California. My dad was almost 93. One morning at breakfast he said to my mom, "Are we going over to visit the Snows this morning?" He said this with anticipation, meaning Spencer and Evelyn.
He sounded disappointed when Mother reminded him that they were not living in
St. George anymore, so they couldn't do that!
