Marion "Pete" Mitchell Snow

Marion Mitchell Snow, 95, known to her friends and family as “Pete”, went home to be with her Lord on January 8, 2024. She was the last link in our family to her generation and will be greatly missed.

Pete was born in Rockingham County to the late William Pinkney and Mary Oakley Mitchell. After the death of her mother, she was adopted at age nine months by her older sister Carrie Baker, and husband, who raised her as their daughter along with their sons Numa and James Baker. Pete graduated from Reidsville High School and began her career at American Tobacco Company. She worked her way from the factory line to an office position as a payroll clerk. She and husband Horace had long and satisfying careers at ATC and established many lifelong friendships with coworkers. Pete was a faithful member of Baptist Temple Church and had many roles there in her lifetime, including Sunday school teacher and most notably as a greeter for services. Pete enjoyed traveling with family and friends to the mountains, coast and especially White Lake, where fond memories were created. She loved to bake and was known especially for her many and varied cakes which were eagerly anticipated at family gatherings.The host family was rewarded with the leftover cake! Her five flavor pound cakes were most wanted gifts! 

Along with her parents she was preceded in death by her loving husband of over 45 years, Horace Snow; sisters, Carrie Baker, Catherine Carter, Esther Gammon, Marie Turner and Ruby Thacker; brother, Wilmon Mitchell;and “brothers”, Numa R. Baker, Jr. and James B. Baker.
