Lucille Wilcken Snelgrove, age 96, died March 7, 2017 of heart failure. She was a mother of nine, grandmother of thirty-one, and great-grandmother of fifty-eight. She had many titles, and was known by many of her great-grandchildren simply as "Great."
She was born July 26, 1920 in Salt Lake City, the youngest child of August Sansom and Mary Lucille Patten Wilcken.
Great married Joel Barr Snelgrove on May 16, 1945 in the Salt Lake Temple. He died thirty years ago in February 1987.
She was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served in many callings in Relief Society, Young Women, and Sunday School. One of her favorite callings was as a leadership missionary with Barr in the Eighth Ward, Liberty Stake.
Great volunteered for several years as a mentor at Dilworth and Edison Elementary schools. But her greatest joy was her family.
Great is survived by eight of her children and their spouses, Jay and Patt, Brent and Linda, Lee and Jody, Pat, LuAnn and Chad, Mike and Annette, Scott and Deborah and Janie and Ralph; grandchildren and great-grandchildren; and sister-in-law, Mona S. Layton. She was preceded in death by her husband, Barr; daughter, Linda; great-grandchildren, Lauren Jane Varner and Tanner Joseph Robbins; brothers, Tom and Pat Wilcken; and sister, Mary, who died the day Great was born.
We express heartfelt appreciation for Nubia and Brock from hospice for their tender care so Great could remain at home; and to our sister, Janie (and Ralph), for her constant and loving care over many years.
Funeral services will be held on Saturday, March 11, 2017 at 12:00 p.m. in the Parleys Fourth Ward Chapel, 1870 Parleys Canyon Boulevard, where friends and family may visit prior to the services from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m.
Interment will follow in the Salt Lake City Cemetery.
