Obituary
Yvonne SNORTELAND
Longtime Federal Way resident, Yvonne Snorteland, was called Home to her Lord and Savior on January 1, 2009. She was 74 years old.
Yvonne Joan Carte’ nee Condell was born on July 11, 1934 to Jack and Verna Carte’ in Seattle, Washington. She was raised by her mother and stepfather, Bill Condell.
A 1952 graduate of West Seattle High School, Yvonne married Vern Snorteland on May 1, 1953, moving to Federal Way in 1966 where she remained until her death. She was an active member of Calvary Lutheran Church for over 42 years, where she spent countless hours-volunteering for Vacation Bible School, WELCA, and many other ministries in the church. She was always willing to help with a cheerful heart and a smile on her face. Following the death of her beloved husband Vern in 2004, Yvonne was fortunate to find love again and made a commitment of her love to John Moller on January 21, 2006. The past couple years of her life were spent happily traveling with John as well as spending time with friends and family.
Yvonne is survived by her faithful and beloved partner, John Moller, her son Mark Carla Snorteland, her daughter Diana Troy Podoll, her son Tony Snorteland, her sister, Patricia Weller, her grandchildren Brandie Reidel, Tonya, Spencer and Nichole Snorteland, Travis and Kaylin Podoll, as well as numerous cousins, nieces and nephews. She will be dearly missed by those who knew and loved her.
A memorial service will be held at Calvary Lutheran Church, Federal Way on Saturday, January 17th, 2009 at 1:00 PM. Donations may be made in her name to Calvary Lutheran Church, 2415 S. 320tb Street, Federal Way, WA 98003 or Franciscan Hospice, 2901 Bridgeport Way West, University Place, WA 98466.
