Doris Jean Rohlfing was born on July 21, 1929, in Grinnell, Iowa, the daughter of Henry Lee Rolfing and Floy Bell (Wheeler) Rohlfing. She was raised on the family farm near Malcom, Iowa and attended Malcom schools.

Doris was united in marriage to Donovan Carrold Snodgrass on April 14, 1949 in Malcom. The couple lived in Grinnell for several years and later moved to Sully in the early 1960’s. Doris was nurse’s aide at the Mayflower Community in Grinnell. She was a lifetime member of the Sully Community Church in Sully and later was a member of the Bar None Cowboy Church in Newton.

Doris dearly loved her family and cherished every moment spent with her grandchildren. Her enjoyments were riding in the truck with Donovan, mowing, and going to horse shows and sales. She will be remembered for her kindness, for being thrifty, for always putting others needs ahead of hers, and for the strong love of her family.

Doris is survived by seven children, Dennis (Pam) Snodgrass of Sully, Patti (Mark) McCormick of Del Ray Beach, Florida, Barb (Mike) Mitchell of Pella, Iowa, Jim (Sandy) Snodgrass of Kellogg, Iowa, Kathy (Dennis) Moes of Dandridge, Tennessee, Don (Debbie) Snodgrass of Boynton Beach, Florida and Steven (Chris) Snodgrass of Tucson, Arizona; 26 grandchildren; 49 great-grandchildren; and her sister, Karen Hudson of New Sharon, Iowa. She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Donovan; great grandson, Bentley Snodgrass; great granddaughter, Charlotte Denman; and daughters-in-law, Barbara Snodgrass and Nancy Snodgrass.
