Dr. Thomas Weber Snee
Dr. Thomas Weber Snee, 78, of Washington, passed away Saturday, July 16, 2022, in Southmont of Presbyterian Senior Care, Washington, after a long bout with Parkinson’s Disease.
Tom is survived by his loving wife of 52 years, Kathryn (Kay to most, Katie to Tom); and his four boys, Ryan (wife Lynn, children Emily and Ashley) of Washington, Brent (wife Karyn, children Maggie and Cooper) of Littleton, Colo., Jeff (wife Melissa, children Dylan, Kaylee, and Hannah) of Wexford, and Chad (wife Lauren, children Caden and Calla) of Denver, Colo.; as well as his two brothers, Ron (wife Marge) and Duane (wife Valerie); his sister in-law, Sherry Elliot (husband Jerry); and several nieces and nephews.
Tom was preceded in death by his parents, Rolland and Helene Snee of Amity.
Dr. Snee was born August 1, 1943, in Washington, and grew up on the family farm in Amity. He attended Trinity High School (Class of 1961), where he excelled as a high school wrestler. Tom used his wrestling success to attend Lycoming College (Class of 1965), before continuing his education at West Virginia Graduate School (Class of 1966), and finally at The University of Maryland Dental School (Class of 1970).
After dental school, Tom was stationed at Camp Pendleton, Calif., with the U.S. Navy until 1972.
In 1972, he and Kay moved back to Washington, where he cofounded Snee Dental and began his dental career that would span the next 40+ years.
Tom was a family man and a people person who loved spending time with his wife and boys, meeting old friends and making new ones, and of course, he loved a good joke. He was an outdoorsman who took great pride in sharing his love for hunting and fishing with his boys especially during their many weekend trips to North Country Rod and Gun Club in Wellsboro. Tom was also an avid golfer and spent 47 years as a member of Lone Pine Country Club playing with his fellow members as well as Katie and his boys.
He was a long-time member of the Church of the Covenant and was active in youth baseball for many years. Each summer for over 40 years he would take his family on vacation to the Outer Banks with the Noren Family. He loved spending time with everyone and especially loved being “Pappy” to his nine grandchildren.
The family has opted for a private ceremony to remember Tom.
In lieu of flowers, the family has asked that folks wanting to remember Tom consider donating to The Parkinson’s Foundation, P.O. Box 6003, Albert Lea, MN 56007-9902; Trout Unlimited PA Council, P.O. Box 5148, Bellefonte, PA 16823; or to a charity of one’s choice.
The family is grateful for the compassionate care Tom received while residing in the Woodside Unit at Southmount as well as the wonderful care provided by Amedisys Hospice. Tom’s family sends heartfelt thanks to everyone.
