March 21, 1946 — November 27, 2020
Barbara Jean Allgood Snow of St. George, Utah, passed away peacefully, at home in her bed, surrounded by her loving son, Marshall Kory Snow and daughter (in-law) Aurora Rose Snow. She returned home to her Heavenly Father on Friday, Nov. 27, 2020, at the young age of 74 years old, after a long struggle with many different health conditions.
She faced her health conditions along with many other struggles with grace, courage, dignity, strength and faith, especially this past year. She believed that it was best to have faith and to turn her struggles over to her Heavenly Father, this helped her to have the strength to move forward and fight until it was apparent that there was nothing more the doctors could do to help her continue to fight her failing health conditions. It was decided, as a family, that it would be best to bring her home and spend her final days on home hospice, surrounded by her special memorabilia, her family and many friends that came by to see her and called her in her final days.
