Obituary: Carol Lynn Snoddy, 67

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

She was born at Wrangell General Hospital on November 17, 1950 and was the 4th of eight children of Marcus and Mae Dailey.

She 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.

She 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 as a member of the local Tlingit & Haida Community Council.

Preceding her in death were; her parents; sister Paige Simmons; niece Leslie Simmons; and nephew Marcus Tyler Winchester.

The couple had no children together, however, they were the

doting Auntie and Unc to Dacia, Nicole, Cameron, Kendri,

MacKenzie, Larisa, Tara, Tammy, Michele, Ron, Marcus Tyler, Leslie, Fred, Kyle, Celly, Mark, Marshall, and Tasha. They were also great Auntie and Unc to numerous great nieces and nephews.

She is survived by; her husband Harold; siblings Dave Dailey, Jackie Dailey (Ken Cesar), Rob Dailey (Kathy Andresen), Tis Peterman (Joel), Christie Jamieson (Bruce) and Rick Dailey (Jane Rinehart).
