The following is an Eulogy written and given by Kathryn Snodgrass, granddaughter. I don't know if it can be added, but think it would be nice if it's possible:
Our Grandma
She always greeted us with a smile, kind word, and a kiss. When you entered her home she offered you food and drink, never left hungry.
She was a wonderful conversationalist, never at a loss for words and never met a stranger. Everyone was welcome in her home.
Her crocheted handwork was a beauty to behold. Not a stitch out of place.
She could "Make a table talk", have a taffy pull, make caramel candy, paint your fingernails red, fry up a platter of chicken, and entertain you with beautiful piano music all in the span of an afternoon.
We loved going to Grandma's house and cried when we had to leave.
All in all she was quite amazing. Grandma was not intimidated by new technical gadgets: cordless push-button phone- withing easy reach; microwave oven-used it like a pro; remote control color TV-loved it; police scanner-kept us up to date on fires, accidents and escaped criminals. She was always the mother hen protecting her chicks.
We love her dearly and will always carry her with us in out hearts and minds.
God bless you, Grandma.
Love,
Your Grandchildren
