Carol B. Snodgrass Thompson of Scotia, a beloved mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, passed away on Saturday, September 6, 2025, at York General Hearthstone in York, Nebraska at the age of 80.

Carol was born on May 5, 1945, in Seward, Nebraska, and she was the second of five children of Jerry and Marie Hain. Carol grew up in a close-knit family on a farm outside of Bee. She graduated from David City Aquinas High School and then attended beauty school in Lincoln.

On December 28, 1969, Carol married Ron Snodgrass. Together they raised four children. She helped instill in them the values of faith, hard work, and love of family. After Ron's passing, Carol later found love again, marrying Gerald Thompson on June 24, 2010. She and Gerry shared many joyful years traveling and attending family events.

Carol's life was centered around her family. She found joy in cooking, gardening, and sewing, and she rarely missed an opportunity to cheer on her grandchildren and great-grandchildren at their events. She worked as a cook at the Greeley Care Home and owned the North Loup Cafe with her daughter for over a decade, sharing her wonderful passion for cooking with so many people.

She was a member of the altar society and taught CCD at St. Patrick's in Scotia for many years and was recently a member of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church of Ord, Nebraska.

She loved family gatherings and treasured time spent with her sister on occasional visits to the casino, always cherishing laughter and companionship.

Carol is survived by her children, Terri (Monte) Jorgensen of North Loup, Glen (Allison) Snodgrass of York, Paul (Kim) Snodgrass of Ord, and Jake (Chelsey) Snodgrass of York. She leaves behind her beloved grandchildren, Brittany (BJ) Thompson, Brooklynn Strickland, Colton Jorgensen, Garrett Snodgrass and fiancée Kate Mullally, Dalton Snodgrass, Spencer Snodgrass, Braden and Emma Snodgrass, Leyton and Maycie Snodgrass; and her great-grandchildren: Karter and Kale Thompson, and Mason and Maverick Strickland. She is also survived by her siblings, Connie Wallace of Anchorage, AK, Elaine Molt of Spalding, Jerry (Maxine) Hain of Wahoo, and Richard (Carol) Hain of Bee; numerous stepchildren, step-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends who will forever hold her memory dear.

Carol was preceded in death by her parents, Jerry and Marie Hain; her first husband, Ron Snodgrass; and her second husband, Gerald Thompson.

Carol's legacy is one of love, laughter, and devotion to family. She will be deeply missed by all who were blessed to know her.
