Connie Snow Gleason

GLEASON, Connie Snow, 52, of Midlothian, died Friday, May 27, 2011 after a valiant battle with breast cancer. Connie was born December 18, 1958, in Salt Lake City, Utah, to Gordon and Beth Snow. Being the youngest of three older sisters and two older brothers, she quickly became known to her family as "PP" for Perfect Princess. She grew up in Salt Lake City, living in the same house until she left for college, where she graduated with a degree in early childhood development from Brigham Young University. After college Connie worked as a case worker in the Salt Lake City office of Utah Senator Jake Garn for five years. When she got married, Connie moved to Charleston, S.C., to be with her new husband, where they would spend their weekends exploring the charming beauty of the city and surrounding area. This is where their family grew to four as their first two children, Ashley and Chase, were born. Following a move to Tampa, Fla., for her husband's work, two more children were added to the family, Nicole and Ally. For the last 10 years Midlothian, Va., has been their home where Connie continued as a stay-at-home mom where she nurtured and raised her four children. A lifelong member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon), Connie loved working with children whether at Church or as a substitute teacher at her children's elementary school. Connie was preceded in death by her parents; a nephew, Danny Sperry; and infant grandniece, Gracie Gledhill. She is survived by her husband, Steve; children, Ashley, Chase, Nicole and Ally; three sisters, Joanne (John) Neumann of McLean, Va., Sherrie (Jim) Jones of Provo, Utah, and Annette (Rob) Sperry of Provo, Utah; and two brothers, Grant (Arlene) Snow of Lehi, Utah, and Greg (Barbara) Snow of Salt Lake City, Utah; along with numerous nieces, nephews and very loving friends.
