Lida Clemens Snively, "Tootie", beloved mother, grandmother, and devoted wife passed away peacefully on January 3, 2021.  She was born on July 1, 1931 in Martins Ferry, Ohio, daughter of Melvin P. and Fern Snell Clemens. After graduating in 1949 from Martins Ferry High School, Lida went to the University of Pittsburgh where she studied chemistry and aspired to become a professional chemist.  In 1956 she was married to her long time love Robert Snively and soon after they moved to the Shenandoah Valley and Waynesboro.

She became very active in her community and belonged to several civic groups and organizations including The Secretaries Club, ESA, and the Waynesboro Public Library. This eventually led to a 13 year career in the Treasurer's Office for the City of Waynesboro where she retired in 1999.  She also enjoyed many hobbies including dancing, bowling, sewing, gardening, and playing piano. But more than anything, she enjoyed spending time with family and friends especially ringing in the New Year serving pork and sauerkraut.

In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by a brother William Clemens and her husband Robert Snively.

She is survived by her daughter Diana Hagenlocker and husband Jason, special grandson Garrett and her family of caregivers at SDRC.

A graveside service will be held Thursday, January 7, at 2:00 pm at Riverview Cemetery in Waynesboro, VA. McDow Funeral Home is assisting the family with arrangements. Memories and condolences may be shared with the family at mcdowfuneralhomeinc.com.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Hospice of the Shenandoah Valley.
