It is with great sadness that the family announces the sudden death of Gloria Snell of Prince Albert, SK on April 20, 2011. Gloria was born in Fort Qu’Appelle, SK on February 27, 1929 to Katie and Michaelo Kyryluk. She took part of her schooling in Lake Valley, SK. After high school she worked for Dunks Drug Store in Fort Qu’Appelle. On February 6, 1954 she married Donald Ettley Snell. They had three children, Barry, Penny and Leanne. In January 1966 the family moved to Prince Albert where her husband worked for the Fisheries Branch of the Department of Natural Resources for over 35 years. Gloria and her family have all resided in Prince Albert since then. Over the years, Gloria and Don enjoyed many happy years camping, fishing and travelling across Canada. Gloria was a very caring individual, who loved spending time with her family. She was very proud of her children and grandchildren, and her home was filled with many family pictures. She loved to cook for everyone and never wanted anyone to go home hungry. Our mother and grandmother will be remembered as a kind and caring person who faced all obstacles in her life with acceptance, determination and a positive attitude. She loved her family and encouraged all of us to be happy and support one another.
