OBITUARY
From Find A Grave
Agnes E. Sneed, a woman of great character and integrity, passed from the grasp of her loved ones into the arms of the Lord on Sunday, May 1, 2011. She was 93, born January 17, 1918, in Russell County, Virginia to her adoring parents, the Reverend Charles and Roxie Cook.
As a child, Agnes was an avid reader of every book she could get her hands on, a habit that continued into adulthood with a particular fondness for Zane Grey novels. She liked to escape her chores to climb apple trees and sit among the branches, like the birds she especially adored, and read her books there. Born with strong curiosity, she learned as much from nature as she did from her books. Her superior memory and keen powers of observation made her impossible to fool.
As an adult, Mrs. Sneed devoted her life to caring for others, from her parents and siblings to her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Every day she would rise with the first call of the birds, to begin a day working to make life as pleasant as possible for those around her. She was the backbone of her family, the tower of strength everyone turned on. She entertained generations of children with her songs, stories, games, riddles, and light verses.
Agnes Cook Sneed graduated from Parksville High School in 1936, then went on to get her nursing degree from Mercy Hospital in Hamilton, Ohio. She worked as a nurse in Ohio, Kentucky, and California, followed by over 40 years in the family business, Kentucky Upholstering. She held a passion for this craft, and inspired it in others, teaching children to sew by using upholstery scraps to make pillows or doll clothes.
Mrs. Sneed is survived by her loving daughters, Linda Arnold of New Haven and Donna McGee of Louisville, and devoted son, David Sneed, of Louisville. She also leaves behind adoring grandchildren and their decendants, nieces and nephews, cousins, sister-in-law Betty Cook of Louisville, and many close friends and neighbors. She is predeceased by her husband, Raymond, daughter, Barbara, and son, Daniel. She was the last of nine siblings.
Mrs. Sneed's Celebration of Life service will be held on Thursday, May 5, 2011, at 2:00 PM at the Arch L. Heady at Resthaven Funeral Home Chapel located at 4400 Bardstown Road. Visitation will be conducted from 1:00 PM until 8:00 PM on Wednesday, May 4, 2011 at the funeral home. Interment will be at Resthaven Memorial Park.
