LEWISTON – Phyllis Winona Snow of New Gloucester died in Lewiston March 17.

She was born April 16, 1916, to Amy and Bernard Segars. She lived in New Gloucester her entire life. She met her future husband, Herbert Snow, during their high school years and they were married Nov. 23, 1936.

She worked for a shoe manufacturer, both at home and in Auburn. Later she made pies and other desserts at Cole Farms restaurant in Gray.

Her interests and talents were many. She was an expert at sewing, knitting and crocheting. She delved into ceramics as a hobby, and supplied her family with holiday decorations. She fostered a love of music for her children, playing the violin and piano, and providing opportunities for her children to have piano lessons.

She loved her family dearly, and will be remembered as a wonderful, kind-hearted woman by all. She was able to maintain a positive attitude during times of adversity. She passed on her wonderful laugh and when her family gets together her laughter is heard throughout the room. She took with her her pie crust and biscuit recipe, since no one could ever learn to replicate it. Phyllis, Mom, Grammy, and Great-grammy will forever be missed and remembered.

She is survived by her children, Donna Ault of Herman, Linda and her husband, Robert Parker, of Portland, Amy and her husband, Alfred Jensen, of New Gloucester and David and his wife, Paula Snow, of New Castle, Del.; 10 grandchildren; 10 great-grandchildren; a sister, Glenice Tufts of New Gloucester; and many nieces and nephews.

She was predeceased by her husband; infant daughter; and siblings, Bernice Hall, Guy Segars and Raymond Segars.
