Their Story
Sharon & Larry
Sharon Lee Snell and Larry Malcolm Snell met in high school in Memphis, Tennessee. He still remembers what she was wearing the first time he ever saw her. They were married fifty-four years.
Larry was a mechanic. Sharon ran the shop office. Two strong, independent people who grew up in the '50s, '60s, and '70s — and chose each other every single day. That's what a real partnership looks like.
The Snell Foundation exists because of what came after — the sleepless weeks, the terrible food, planning a funeral while she was still in the ICU, the phone calls to institutions that didn't care, the house that needed putting back together. The weight that lands all at once when your whole world just left.
