Robert Snow Obituary
Rev. Robert Snow
October 2, 2023
Rev. Robert "Bob" Snow, 80, passed away on October 2, 2023. Born in Great Falls, Montana, he graduated with a degree in Journalism from the University of Nebraska. Bob had a distinguished career, including serving as the first Division Head of the Citizen Information Center in Lincoln. Ordained as a deacon in 1985, he made significant contributions to the community and the Episcopal Church.
Alongside his wife Ellen, Bob dedicated 16 years to mission work in the Dominican Republic, a testament to his unwavering commitment to service. In Lincoln, he was instrumental in launching community events and initiatives, leaving an indelible mark on the city. His legacy is one of service, compassion, and community enrichment.
Bob is survived by his wife Ellen, daughters Tracey and Robbin, five grandchildren, and extended family. Each member of his family and the community continues to be touched by his enduring legacy of faith and service, keeping his spirit alive. In the wake of his passing, we reflect on a life that exemplified dedication, kindness, and community service, ensuring that his impact will be felt for generations to come.
A celebration of life will be held Tuesday, October 24th at 4:00 pm; Holy Trinity Episcopal Church (6001 A Street, Lincoln, Nebraska). To celebrate the beauty of the Dominican Republic, please wear vibrant colors. In lieu of flowers, memorials can be made to Colegio Kids (Educational Scholarships for children in the DR), UNL College of Journalism or The Hub (The HUB is to provide unconditional support and programming for young people as they become productive, independent, and active members of the community).

My wife and I had the privilege to be in the company of Bob and Ellen many years ago when we were asked to be a part of a missionary trip to the DR with the Grand Island Episcopal church cadre of good and giving parishioners. I must tell you it was the single most rewarding trip I have been a part of. So many spiritual blessings and life-lasting memories still remain within my heart and soul from this adventure. My prayers are with Bob´s family as well as the many people he was a servant to. May our God continue to bless each one of us more abundantly than ever.

Ellen, please accept my deepest sympathy for the loss of your dear husband. I remember many years ago (at the Nebraska Library Commission) how you looked forward to mission work with him and I know your deep faith with comfort you.

I am blessed to have known Bob. My spirit was always lifted when I saw him at church. I learned a lot about what it means to be a Christian when he led the group I was with all over the Dominican Republic. More specifically, I learned the importance of service to all because we are all God's children.

Bob was the best boss that I ever had! He was one of the reasons I enjoyed being the producer of the Star City Parade for 4 years. Blessings to his entire family He was truly one of the best!
