Susan Ingle Snell went home to be with the Lord on December 26, 2020.

Sue was born on September 11, 1946, in Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, to Paul and Flora Ingle. Sue was an Army brat; she lived in Formosa (Taiwan) and Germany and across the U.S. Sue met her husband, Odi in Nebraska and they married in 1970. The two settled in Fortuna in 1974.

Sue was a devoted mother of three, but there were always a couple extra kids that needed a place to stay and Sue and Odi’s door was always open. Sue was also a dedicated member the Campton Heights Baptist Church. Sue volunteered in the AWANA program, taught Sunday School, and volunteered her time in many areas of the church. Sue enjoyed playing golf at REGCC; she was awful at it, but she loved it.

When it came to her grandchildren, Sue was at soccer and football games, cheerleading events even in the wind and rain. She was no fair-weather fan. She was funny, sarcastic, smart, and supportive. She left our hearts aching in shock.

Sue was predeceased by her husband of 43 years, Orliff “Odi” Snell. Sue is survived by her daughter Jessie (Brett) Coleman; daughter Melissa (Paul) Davis, and son Orliff (Nicole) Snell II, brother Dave (Barbara) Ingle, brother Paul Ingle, sister Carol (Tom) Robinson, sister Mary (John) Tinkey, grandchildren Emma and Brett Coleman, Dillynn, Flora, Orliff, and Annabelle Snell, and numerous nieces and nephews. She is also survived by her brother-in-law Jack (Marguerite) Snell and sister-in-law Ellen Snell.

A memorial to celebrate Sue’s life will be held as soon as possible, but no date is scheduled at this time.
