Rita Snoke Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Colvin Funeral Home and Crematory - Fayetteville on Jan. 10, 2026.
Rita Snoke, born on October 2, 1957, passed away on January 2, 2026. She was a devoted mother and grandmother, remembered for her resilience, determination, and strength that carried her through life. A Christian woman with a strong faith in God, Rita lived with belief, conviction, and hope.

Rita loved her three sons deeply-Roland Snoke, Aaron Snoke, and Joey Snoke, who preceded her in death. She also cherished her granddaughter, who brought immense joy, light, and purpose to her life. Her love for her family was unwavering, and her spirit was truly unbreakable.

Strong-willed and stubborn in the way only someone fiercely independent could be, Rita was never afraid to stand her ground. She found comfort in watching westerns and enjoying a cup of coffee, simple pleasures that reflected her steady and grounded nature.

Rita is now at peace, reunited in heaven with her beloved son Joey. Her memory will live on through the love she gave, the faith she held, and the strength she showed throughout her life.
