Mary was from a hard-working farming family on Old Galveston Road for centuries. She met her husband, A.C.(Charlie), at a military dance at Galveston County Park where she and her cousins would go on weekends to dance. She married him and traveled and danced around the world as a military officer’s wife until his retirement after 23 years brought them back to raise their children in League City where her family still lived and farmed. Mary was quite the roadrunner, housewife and mother. She enjoyed foremost St. Mary’s Church where she was very involved in cleaning the church and all the churches activities for years. She and her cousins had many weekly activities like a Tuesday morning coffee, at a different house every week after mass, and lunches with the FAT FOUR.
Six years ago, after a fall and surgery she went to live at Light Heart Memory Care which specializes in private care, she enjoyed the comradery bossing everyone around. She made many friends there in her final years. A special thanks to them for their patients and tolerating her many demands.
Mary’s family will receive visitors on Monday, April 1, 2019 from 5:00-6:30pm with a Rosary immediately following at Crowder Funeral Home in League City.
A Catholic Funeral Mass will be on Tuesday, April 2, 2019 at 10:30am on St Mary Catholic Church, 1612 East Walker, League City, Texas 77573 with internment at Mt. Olivet immediately following.
Prayers of healing and comfort to friends and family of Grandma Snow.
Mary was a sweet lady and good friend of my mother. In their better days, she would often visit my mother and they would share stories, have coffee and just spend time together. Thoughts and prayers go out to her precious daughter, Annette and husband, Ernie, as well as Mary’s extended family.

Mary you will always be remembered at the Tuesday Morning coffees it was such a pleasure to always listen to your advice I do not take it half-heartedly and will always have your family in my prayers thanks for the wonderful memories
I’m so sorry Annette!!! I remember your mother from all of the Church Bazaars and from the Italian family’s that farmed and lived their lives on Highway 3. The early residents and builders of this city which has grown to 100k+. God Bless you and your entire family.🤗
I would like to extend my condolences, and share these wonderful promises from the Scriptures. May they help you endure the loss of Mary, for Jehovah is the God of all comfort. “Do not be anxious…..but in everything by prayer and supplication along with thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to God; and the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus.” Isaiah 26:4; Philippians 4:6-7 NWT. And the Bible also promises that in the future sickness will be gone forever, for “No resident will say: “I am sick.” Isaiah 33:24; Revelation 21:3, 4 NWT. Peace, and many happy memories of Mary be with you.
I am so very sorry and saddened for your loss. I am praying for comfort and peace in these following days.
Annette,
We are so sorry for your loss. Your Mom was a wonderful lady. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Annette and Family,
I was sad to hear the news of Aunt Mary’s passing but know that she is now one with Christ and with all her loved ones that passed before her. I always remember her strong will and she was always happy to share with you her words of wisdom. I know my mother always thought very much of Mary and enjoyed her company. God bless her and all that she has left to carry on for her, I know she will be kept near in all of your hearts.
Love,
John and Rita Snow
