Amy Lee Hodges Snoddy

Mrs. Snoddy was born April 25, 1934 in Watauga County, North Carolina to the late Conrad Denverd Hodges and Mary Lillian Green Hodges. She attended Statesville Senior High and Gaston College and was a member of Wesley Memorial Methodist Church for over 50 years.

In 1972 Amy married the love of her life, Larry J. Snoddy. The two combined their families and had almost 40 years together until Mr. Snoddy’s death in 2008. Amy was a faithful mother to Bobby Williams, Gail Smith, the late Cynthia Williams, Kyle Snoddy, the late Kevin Snoddy, Keith Snoddy. She was also Mamaw to many grandchildren and great grandchildren and was happiest when her family was around.

In addition to her involvement at Wesley Memorial, Amy was an enthusiastic volunteer for Meals on Wheels for over 20 years and an active supporter of her husband’s lengthy career at Rubbermaid, as well as his extensive volunteer efforts at Yokefellow and Relay for Life.

Amy loved dancing, camping and decorating her home. Amy and Larry had many years dancing with the Dogwood Swingers and Dixie Wheeler Square Dance clubs and met many special friends. They also enjoyed opening their home for Sunday School parties and for their family and friend’s enjoyment.

Amy was an avid reader, loved shopping, especially for shoes, and could bake an excellent cake, and often did so for her grandchildren’s birthdays. Over her last seven months she shared her home around the clock with family members and a few special caregivers and made sure everyone keeping her company never went without a sweet treat before bed.

In addition to her parents, her daughter Cynthia Williams, and her son Kevin Snoddy, Amy was predeceased by her brothers, Denverd Hodges and Norman Hodges, sister-in-law Mary Anne Hodges, brother-in-law Wes Snoddy, and son-in-law Ron Smith.
