Norma Wright Snelson
April 17, 1915 — January 19, 2010
A life of strength, beauty and hard work came to an end on January 19, 2010, when Norma W. Snelson died of causes incident to age.
Born in Charleston, Utah, on April 17, 1915, to George and Phebe Wright, her early years in Charleston were a busy mix of hard work and fun. She had brothers and sisters and one niece, Ruby, whom she considered her sister. She is survived only by a younger sister Evon Webster. She married her long-life-love, Ronald Snelson, with whom she had four children: Barbara (Hugh), Dean (Annie), Marilyn (Jan) and Bette (David).
Norma worked in retail sales in some of Utah's finest stores, Auerbachs, The Paris Company and ZCMI after Ronald's death in 1947. She was fiercely proud of her family, calling them the jewels of her life. She provided her posterity with a lasting example of strength, determination, happiness and a love of the gospel of Jesus Christ. She loved the Savior and exemplified His teachings in her Primary and Relief Society lessons in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
A memorial service will be held on Saturday, January 23, 2010 at 11 a.m. at Wheeler Mortuary, 211 E 200 S, Springville, UT. A viewing will be held one hour prior to the services. Interment will be at the Evergreen Cemetery in Springville, UT.
