Margaretha was born on September 30, 1934 in Bleiswijk, Netherlands to the late Adrianus and Eva Visser. She was a business partner with the love of her life William Snoei. They married on June 16, 1956 and celebrated over 58 years together. They raised three sons, Ron, David (1965 - 1970) and John, and three daughters Evelyn, Judith and Ruth.
Mary had a passion for needlework and her faith. She also loved to travel with her beloved husband Bill, and assist churches along their adventures. Together, they would find a congregation with a need and volunteer their time to work with the members and share their faith. Her love for sewing could be admired in her clothes, in their homes and projects made, including items for the Warehouse of Hope for overseas mission projects. She loved her coffee and tea time, always enjoying a sweet...or two.
Margaretha was preceded in death by her husband, William Gysbert Snoei and son David. She is survived by her children Evelyn (Andy) Veide, Ron, Judith (Ken) Zelazny, Ruth, John (Sharon) Snoei, and her grandchildren: Brian (Sarah), Kevin (1980-2007), David (Kaitlyn), Matthew (Kyle), Justin (1984-1984), Rachel (Brandon), Jesse (Alana), Neil (Alicia), Kristopher (Katie), Trevor (Kendall), Kyle (Jessica), Dylan (Jane), Karly, Jarod, Zachary, and Bradley; as well as Great Oma’s 15 great-grandchildren: Hunter, Chase, Grey, Madison, Charlotte, Zander, Quinn, Kristen, Landon, Lila, Grayson, Cohen, Noah, Odin and Atlas. She is the older sister to the late Bastian (Rhea), older sister to Harry (Anne) and Nelleke (Jacob) and younger sister to the late brother Pieter (Gerda).
A private funeral has taken place and Mary has been laid to rest beside her longtime soulmate at Victoria Lawn Cemetery. If desired, memorial contributions to the Alzheimer’s Society of Ontario would be appreciated and may be arranged through Hulse and English Funeral Home, St. Catharines.
