SNOW, Gordon

GORDON LORRAINE SNOW May 26, 1931 – June 12, 2025 Gordon Lorraine Snow of Raymond, Alberta passed away peacefully in hospital on June 12, 2025, at the age of 94.
Gordon was born on May 26, 1931, in Cardston, Alberta to J. Golden Snow and Eunice Lybbert. From a young age, he developed a deep love for sports, especially basketball. He played on the Union Jacks men’s league team and later coached many youth teams to championship victories, leaving a lasting impact on the young athletes he guided.
A lifelong member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Gordon served faithfully in the Northern California and Southern Oregon mission. Upon returning home, he met Barbara Louise Anderson, and they were married in 1954.
Together, Gordon and Barbara raised four children: Dale (Valerie), Marla (Don), Maureen (Gary), and Todd (Loni). Gordon was immensely proud of his growing posterity, which includes 17 grandchildren, 36 great-grandchildren, and 7 great-great-grandchildren.
Gordon spent his life farming and ranching south of Raymond, a life he loved and never strayed far from. He treasured his relationships with friends and neighbours, always ready for a warm visit and good conversation.
The family wishes to express their heartfelt gratitude to the compassionate staff at both the Raymond Health Centre and the Good Samaritans in Raymond for their exceptional care in his final days.
The Funeral Service will be held at 11:00am on Saturday June 21, 2025 at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, RAYMOND STAKE CENTRE (2N 200W, Raymond). The link for the livestream will be available on the Salmon and Sons website.
