LOIS SNOPE

Lois Adele Snope 3/31/1928 - 1/7/2013 On 1/7/2013 our mother was reunited with her parents Olga and Spencer Turner, her loving husband Dan, her son Larry, and grandson Zachery. First and foremost, family meant everything to our mother. She was the glue that held the family together. She made many wonderful memories for her family as we all came together for celebrations such as holidays, birthdays, weddings, and new babies. She adored each and every one of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Lois's hobbies included knitting, baking, and gardening. There wasn't a friend, relative, or West Pierce Firefighter, who didn't love her pies or raspberry jam! She will be greatly missed by her brother Ron Turner, and sons Dan (Rachel), Ron (Karen), and Matt. She also leaves behind ten grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren. The family would like to send a special thank you to Loren Defazio and Tim Gavranich for "being there" during this difficult time. In honor of Lois there will be an open house on Saturday, January 12 from 2:00-5:00pm at the Snope family home, 4910 80th Ave. W, University Place, 98467. Suggested donations may be made to Franciscan Hospice House, 2901 Bridgeport Way W, University Place, WA 98466.
