Theresa "Terrie" Marie Snowdon (Michalak)

Theresa Marie Snowdon, 71, known to most as Terrie, passed away surrounded by family on October 24, 2026. Terrie was born in Detroit, Michigan, and lived most of her life in Taylor, Michigan, before moving to Edinburg Township, Ohio, in 2024.

Terrie worked for Walmart for 25 years, holding multiple positions throughout her career before medical retirement in 2024. She was a private person who enjoyed crocheting blankets and other handmade items for her children and grandchildren. She cherished quiet afternoons spent reading her favorite books or watching her favorite television programs. Terrie especially loved spending time with her children and grandchildren, vacationing in the Outer Banks, where she enjoyed watching the waves and dolphins and collecting seashells along the shore. She was a collector of what she called Funny Money, which was money from other countries. She loved to share this Funny Money with her grandchildren.

Terrie was preceded in death by her parents, Leonard and Theresa Michalak; her sister, Rose Kotas; and her nephew, Michael Michalak.
