STEWARTSVILLE, Mo. – Effie Ernestine Boyd Snodgrass came into this world on June 25, 1935. Born to Ernest and Velva Cundiff Boyd at their home in Agency, Missouri, she grew up alongside her brother, Elmer Wallace “Buck” and sisters, Norma Ruth Hendirks, Dorothy Louise, Helen Pauline Hammon, Margorie Ellen VanVickle and Frankie Darlene “Pat” Kalin.
After graduating high school in 1953, Effie lived and worked in the St. Joseph area until marrying David L. Snodgrass III on April 22, 1956. David and Effie recently celebrated their 68th anniversary. Effie’s faith, born in the RLDS Church, sustained her throughout her life.

Effie Ernestine will be remembered as one of the strongest women we have had the honor to know. Her self-discipline and courage to clearly speak her truth. Never one to complain, or take medicine, Effie faced several illnesses with a grace and stamina that is difficult to put into words. She was a powerhouse of strength, determination, stubbornness and resilience.
