Polly Jean Snuffer, 62, of Charleston, passed away March 25, 2019 in hospice care at Thomas Memorial Hospital, in the company of her family and loved ones, after a brief but valiant battle to overcome pneumonia.

Polly struggled for most of her life with severe health problems, including cerebral palsy, that limited her mobility but not her enjoyment of life. She was tough and strong; in recent years she successfully made it through surgery and chemotherapy for ovarian cancer, as well as spinal surgery to correct a life-threatening condition. For the last 14 years Polly lived with her sister and brother-in-law, Peggy and Charles Perdue.

Polly loved her sisters, her brothers, and her cousins, as well as their children and grandchildren; she loved gospel music and Hallmark movies (especially the Christmas movies). Even confined to a wheelchair, she liked to go bowling with her classmates at Prestera Center and to movies with her friend Doris Carson, who treated Polly as if she were a member of her own family. Polly enjoyed socializing in person and chatting on the phone with friends.  She had an amazing ability to recall dates, and could always be counted on to call family members on their birthday and sing "Happy Birthday" to them.
