Obituary of Faustine E Snooks

Faustine E. Snooks, 90, of Greenwood, Indiana, formerly of Coloma, Michigan, passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family, on Monday, August 15, 2011 at Rosegate Nursing Home, following an extended illness. She was born in Jasper County, Indiana to the late Frank Sylvester and Myrtle Ann (Kerns) King. On August 16, 1941 Faustine married the love of her life, Emerson E. Snooks at a ceremony in Jasper County, Indiana. It seems fitting that on their 70th wedding anniversary the couple will be reunited. A homemaker most of life, Faustine was a gifted artist and enjoyed growing flowers. She had a close relationship with God. Faustine was devoted to reading her bible and attended Smith Valley United Methodist Church. Faustine also loved spending time with her family and friends, especially the many years and family get-togethers at her home on Paw Paw Lake. Faustine is preceded in death by her parents, her husband, a sister Barbara Robinson and three brothers; Glen, Dallas and Malcolm King. She is survived by a daughter Glenda (Martin) Abbert of Greenwood, Indiana, a son Emerson LeRoy (Kathy) Snooks of Marquette, Michigan, six grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. In keeping with Faustine's wishes, she will be laid to rest next to her husband on Tuesday, August 16th at North Shore Memory Gardens in Coloma, Michigan. A memorial service to celebrate Faustine's life will be held on Sunday, August 21st at 3:00 p.m. at Smith Valley United Methodist Church located at 5293 Old Smith Valley Road, Greenwood, Indiana 46143. Memorial contributions may be made in Faustine's memory to her church.
