Barbara Ann Snow 1937-2025

Born May 30, 1937, in Struthers, Barbara was the daughter of the late Raymond and Grace Wire Codner.

A 1955 graduate of North Lima High School, where she was a majorette for the Zippers, she was a lifelong resident of the Mahoning Valley and a familiar, kind-hearted presence in her community.

Barbara was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister and homemaker. She spent over 20 years working in the housekeeping department at Sheely’s Furniture & Appliance Co. before retiring.

Her faith was important to her, and she attended Restoration Ministries of Youngstown alongside her daughter, Barbara. Known for her generous spirit and warm heart, Barbara delighted in baking for family and friends — her cakes were legendary and brought joy to many.

Barbara is survived by her children, Kevin Wayne (Jim Crooks) Snow of Akron and Barbara Snow II of North Lima, with whom she made her home. She also leaves behind five beloved grandchildren, Beverly Renee James of South Canton, Anna Marie Frazzini of Boardman, James Jay (Treasure) Johnston III of Girard, Joshua William Johnston of North Lima and Kristen Marie Johnston of Struthers, as well as eight great-grandchildren, Matthew Robert James, Madison Renee James, Mia Elyssia (Nick) Morgan, Jarred Alan Clark, Sophia Marie Lynn Smith, Myle Jae Johnston, Alexandra Joy Johnston and Matthew James Johnston. Barbara also adored her six cats, who were part of her loving home.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband of 57 years, William Wayne Snow, whom she married Oct. 29, 1955, and who passed away May 15, 2013; her daughter, Dianne Razo; her brother, James Codner, and his wife, Sally; and her sister, Evelyn Naomi Forame.

At Barbara’s request, there will be no calling hours or funeral service at this time.

Arrangements are being handled by Davis-Becker Funeral Home, 8536 Market St., Boardman. Friends and family are invited to share memories and condolences at www.beckerobits.com.
