Obituary: Carol Lynn Snoddy, 67

Carol Lynn Snoddy, 67, (Aa k'wát'i of the Kaach.ádi clan) passed away after a long illness on Dec. 18, 2017.

She was born at Wrangell General Hospital on Nov. 17, 1950 and was the fourth of eight children of Marcus and Mae Dailey.

Carol met and married the love of her life, Harold Snoddy, on July 29, 1969.

She was the great-granddaughter of the last Chief Shakes, Charles Jones and his wife Susie.

One of the many great accomplishments of her life was working with her sister

Tis and Todd White on the Chief

Shakes clan house renovation and Carving facility. She was always involved in events that benefited the community. Even

though Carol had accomplished so much over the years, she never was one to brag or beat her own drum unless it was in

the 4th of July band. She could be as cool as a cucumber juggling events but when it came to drumming, she was very nervous, but loved playing.

Carol retired from the National Bank of Alaska, training managers over her 30 years of employment. She also served as a

Commissioner of the Regional Tlingit & Haida Housing Authority and was a member of the local Tlingit & Haida Community Council.
