Marion Ruth Snare, age 87 of Buffalo, MN passed away on Monday, April 8, 2013 at Guardian Angels Nursing Home in Elk River, MN.
She was born on December 17, 1925 on the family farm in Greenbush, Lind Township, Minnesota to Fred & Esther Olson Hagen. Marion had six brothers and five sisters.
At the age of fifteen, after earning enough money, Marion moved to Seattle, Washington with her sister Lorraine. Even though she was there for only a brief period, she had many great adventures and loved sharing stories from the Seattle experience.
She moved back to Greenbush and married Adrian Snare on May 31st, 1946. God blessed their marriage with five children: Alan (Sylvia), Kerry (Connie), Noel (Mary), Julie (Bob) and Scott (Laura).
Every evening at 6:00 P.M. the Greenbush city siren sounded and all of her kids knew they had better be home for dinner.
Not only did she love and take care of her family well, she also offered her ear and home to anyone who needed her.
Following her husband Adrian’s death in 1978, and her youngest child’s high school graduation in 1982, Marion left Greenbush and moved to Bemidji, Minnesota. She dedicated her time there to helping young adults with special needs.
Marion and her youngest child, Scott, decided to move to Buffalo, MN in 1984. She resided there for most of her remaining years and often dedicated her time to helping her children and grandchildren. Marion always knew she had a bedroom in each of her children’s homes.
After thirty two years of this, she decided to get her own place at Guardian Angels in Zimmerman. She valued her independence and making new friendships there.
She is preceded in death by her parents, her husband Adrian Snare, siblings: Dee, Hugo, Lorraine, Lief, Jerry, Dale, Randy, Wally & Karen and by her granddaughter Jessica Snare.
Funeral services for Marion Snare will be held on Friday, Apriil 12th at 7:00 P.M. at The Peterson Chapel in Buffalo.
A visitation will be held on Friday, April 12th from 6:00 P.M. until time of service at 7:00 P.M. at The Peterson Chapel in Buffalo.

I am so sorry to hear about Marion’s passing. She was one of the good ones and I will miss her.
To the Snare Family; Sorry to hear of the passing of Marion Snare. I’ve known her since 1975 and have had a lot of fun with her the past 37 years. Marion and her brother, Lief, would always pay us a visit at the Deer Shack until he passed. I’d always kid her about stopping smoking but she would say “you gotta go from something.” She had an opinion but never did tell me to “lose some weight” and I would have said ” you gotta go from something”. We lost a true friend, good cook and at 87 she would have said “you gotta go from something”. I hope I make 87 years. God Bless and may she rest in peace. She has earned it! Lou Fussy
In this time of sorrow may you find comfort in God’s love for Aunt Marion.

Thank you is not enough
For always being there
Even when you were bedridden
You always seemed to care
You meant so much to all of us
you were special and that’s no lie
you brightened up the darkest day
and even the greyest sky
Many tears I have seen and cried
They have all poured out like rain
But I know that you’re in Heaven
no longer in that pain.
Our bond is forever
Until death, did we part
Although your gone from this earth
You’re always in my heart
MEMORIES–I have been reflecting the last couple of days of my childhood and the times that I spent in Greenbush. Marion always comes up in those thoughts as she was like a Mother to me when I stayed with Gramma and Grandpa Snare. She was so easy to talk to and was so willing to listen. All you Snare kids were like brothers and sisters to me. I am so sorry for the loss of your Mom and hope that you all turn to each other for strength and peace. Love, Cousin Debe Siems and family
Noel,Scott and Family, so sorry to hear about the loss of your Mother,my
thoughts and, prayers are with you all.
Having spent time with the four Snare brothers I know that Marion leaves behind a wonderful family and will surely be missed. I wish the entire family all the best during your time of loss.
Sincere support to each of your family members.
Lou just informed me of the passing of your Mother, Mother in Law, Grandmother, Loved One; unfortunately it was not in time to attend the service.
Prayers and Peace during this time of loss.

Having spent time with the Snare brothers, I know that Marion leaves behind a wonderful, caring family and will be deeply missed. My condolences go out to the entire family and I wish you all the best during your time of loss.
This is so hard to write, so many thoughts come to mind. Marion was an awesome lady, never to be forgotten. As was said before, she had a bedroom in all hers children’s homes. Not many can say that, how wonderful is that. She had a room in all our hearts and always will! When she came to Mom’s (her sister Helen’s) it was as though she never left, we just picked up where we left off. She loved life and took care of so many. I will miss that little lady so very much. We have all been blessed to have known her, none more than her family I’m sure. Sending love and prayers to each of you. Joan
