Barbara "Bobbie" Louise Snapp
December 13, 1930 — August 2, 2014
Barbara “Bobbie” Louise Snapp, 83, was born in Los Angeles, CA on December 13, 1930 and passed away peacefully with her family by her side in Yorba Linda, CA on August 2, 2014. Although primarily a homemaker, Bobbie was also employed as an Electrical Assembler in the Aerospace Industry for 20 years. She spent 34 years in Parker, AZ enjoying retirement and the outdoors, and is preceded in death by her loving husband, Jim Snapp, to whom she was married for 54 years.
Bobbie is survived by her son, Mike (Sharon) Snapp of Yorba Linda and her daughter, Patti (Mark) Pray of Clayton, CA. She also leaves her grandchildren, Brian (Christine) Snapp of Placentia, Kevin (Megan) Snapp of Fullerton, Jeffrey (Kelly) Pray of Bakersfield, Jonathan (Carly) Pray of Loomis, Jeremy (Hayley) Pray of Pleasant Hill, Jamie (Tommy) Eissner of Concord and her great grandchildren Marlowe and Jimmy Snapp of Placentia; Nolan Snapp of Fullerton; Brady, Cody and Kennedy Pray of Bakersfield; Macy, Cameron and Ariel Pray of Loomis; and Weston Pray of Pleasant Hill. She is predeceased by her brother, Robert Johnson.
Services will be held on Saturday, August 23, at 1:00pm at Messiah Lutheran Church, 4861 Liverpool St., Yorba Linda, CA 92886. .
An avid sportswoman who loved golf, water and snow skiing, Bobbie called Southern California home before retiring to Arizona with husband, Jim, in 1980. Despite the additional distance between Bobbie and her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, however, she remained a very big part of their lives, and regularly traveled throughout Northern and Southern California and to various parts of the country to attend their high school and college baseball and soccer games, graduations, church retreats, and to welcome new babies to the family. Although she loved relaxing with a good book and an occasional glass of wine at her home in Arizona, the last few months of her life were spent fighting metastatic melanoma in Southern California, during which time she received dozens of letters and well-wishes from the close friends she had made during her life journey. All who loved her will truly miss her warm smile, her bright eyes, and sparkling sense of humor.
In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting that donations be made to the Melanoma Research Foundation, http://www.melanoma.org/get-involved/support-the-mrf . Please denote Barbara Snapp on the check.
