Snodgrass Jr.
Aug 4, 1950 — Apr 16, 2025
Harry Edward Snodgrass Jr., age 74, of Vienna, was born August 4, 1950, at Christian Hospital in East St. Louis, a son of Harry Edward and Lilly Helena (Semenske) Snodgrass Sr., and passed from this life on Wednesday, April 16, 2025, in Caring Hearts and Hands of Columbia, surrounded by his loving family.
He was united in marriage to Vicki Benton Ragan in March of 1983 and to this union one daughter was born.
During his working life Harry was employed with Preferred Family Health, Rolla, for eighteen years, helping care for disabled adults.
Harry was a 1969 graduate of Central High School and spent the majority of his life in the city, which he loved. He was an avid St. Louis Cardinals fan, loved Elvis, telling jokes, and sitting in the sun with his dog, Daisy. Harry adored his daughter, Alivia, as she was his entire world, as he was hers, and he shared an exceptional relationship with his son-in-law, Shawn, who he trusted and loved deeply for fourteen years. He especially loved spending time with his sister, Patri, who he shared an unbreakable bond with, that was and will always be treasured; his sister, Rose who he shared a loving and continued closeness with; and he also shared an astonishing bond with his nephew Ben, who he called Benny. Harry was a man of strong faith, a devout believer in Jesus, and had a personality that was unmatchable!
