Zoe Belle Snethen, daughter of James O. and Fanny F. Ginter, was born April 20, 1911 at Pleasant Gap, Missouri. She entered into rest peacefully at her home June 3, 2008 at 97 years of age.
She lived nearly all her life in the Johnson City, Iuka Springs area except for a short time during her childhood when the family moved to South Dakota for a time.
On December 27, 1939 she was united in marriage to Floyd Snethen and to this union four children were born. An infant daughter, Faye Allene, and infant son passed away at birth and daughter, Fran, passed away in August 2004. She was also preceded in death by her parents and two brothers, Ward and Elmo.
Zoe was a homemaker all of her married years with Floyd. She loved to raise a big garden as long as her health permitted and deeply loved her family. She was an exceptionally good cook and everyone enjoyed get togethers at her home. She enjoyed going to Mt. Zion Club meetings and for many years she was the piano player at Mt. Zion Church. She also taught bible school there for many years.
She is survived by her husband of 68 years, Floyd; a son and daughter in law, John and Julia Snethen all of the home; a special son-in-law, Dane Schellman of Rockville, Missouri; ten grandchildren; twenty great-grandchildren; and four great-great-grandchildren.
