Mary A. Snetro, 93, of Kensington, beloved wife for 68 years of the late Charles A. Snetro passed away on July 26, 2022.

Born in New Britain on September 2, 1928 to the late Lucia and Vito Daddabbo, Mary resided in New Britain before moving to Kensington. After her retirement from Emhart Corp., Mary and Charlie enjoyed many winters in Florida with family and friends.

Mary was an avid bowler boasting that her high single of 200+ was greater than Charlie’s!  A card player especially set back and poker and very lucky at bingo! An avid sports fan she enjoyed watching football, tennis and UCONN women’s basketball. Her grandchildren fondly remember Meemo and Poppy being at their various sporting events always cheering them on. She was a former member of the Berlin VFW Auxiliary, St. Paul’s Church and St. Paul’s Ladies Guild.

Surviving are her daughter, Patricia Gaedeke and her husband James, Grandson Daniel Gaedeke, his wife Kristen and Granddaughter Marcy Gaedeke. Two precious great grandchildren, Charlie Michael and Rocky James Gaedeke and many nieces, nephews.

The oldest of 7 children she leaves behind siblings, Lil Theriault, Rose Garuti, Tony Daddabbo and Stella Lorah.

A strong will and determination enabled her to fight her battle with Multiple Sclerosis for many years. Let her be an inspiration to others who are dealing with this disease.

A private graveside service will be held in St. Mary Cemetery at the convenience of the family where Mary will be laid to rest beside her husband.

In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
