Obituary
Samona Wynia Snow was born on August 24, 1923 at home near Hadley, MN, to Simon and Thomasine (Tillie) Vleiger Wynia. She was the 8th child of 12. She passed away on February 6 at the Good Samaritan Society in Atkinson, NE.
Samona received her schooling in Hadley and Slayton, MN. Samona's parents heard the Truth through Charlie Mitchell in early 1920's and Samona made her choice to serve God when she was 12 years old at Hector, MN convention. She stayed true to that choice throughout her life. The first hymn she learned to play was, "Safe In The Fold".
After high school graduation, Samona received her LPN training at the Slayton, MN Hospital. Her nursing career continued at the Brown County Hospital in Ainsworth, NE for 47 years. She married Dean Snow of Brewster, NE on November 1, 1950 in Minnesota. To this union 3 children were born. Samona and Dean ranched south of Ainsworth, milking cows and maintaining a cow/calf operation. After retiring and selling their home place, they moved into Ainsworth for several years of retirement.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Dean; daughter, Karla Dee Snow; one grandson, Colbie Meldon Snow and 11 brothers and sisters. She is survived by her sons, Garland and wife Lorna Snow of Kearney, NE, Mel and wife Camile Snow of Oakley, KS; grandchildren, Trenton Snow of Kearney, NE, Joni Sue (Snow) & Paul Moses of Amelia, NE, Marton (Albie) & Kimberly Snow of Hamilton, MT, Cari Ann (Snow) & Vern Musgrove of Lincoln, NE, Mindi Kay (Snow) & Raymon McConnell of Sharon Springs, KS, Jennifer Snow-Alvarez & Karl of Ft.
