LaVoyce "Trixie" Snow

LaVoyce Snow, 86, of Griffin, died Saturday, August 5, 2023, after a short illness. LaVoyce (also known as Trixie) was born December 28, 1936, in Austin, TX, to the Reverend Walter E. Floyd and Geneva Floyd. She was a graduate of Marble Falls High School in Marble Falls, TX. LaVoyce met her husband in 1956 in the church coffee shop for students. She said, “In walked this big man, all the boys I knew were small and skinny and he was just so much bigger than other boys”. LaVoyce married Virgil Snow February 1, 1957, with her father officiating the ceremony. They had been married sixty-six years when Virgil passed away March 7, 2023. The Snow’s moved to Griffin permanently in September of 1977, living in Griffin forty-six years. Longtime members of Southside Baptist Church, LaVoyce was a faithful attendee of services until declining health prevented regular attendance. LaVoyce taught elementary school in the Griffin Spalding County School System for many years until she felt the calling to move to special needs students. After obtaining a master’s degree in special education from West Georgia College in 1982, (and further completing a Specialist Degree subsequently) she began a career serving Griffin’s students with special needs. She retired as Griffin Spalding County School’s Director of Special Education. LaVoyce was the mother and wise counselor to two boys that survive her: Virgil Snow of Lawrenceville and Walter Thomas “Tom” Snow of Griffin. She is further survived by two daughters-in-law that she loved dearly: Lori Snow of Lawrenceville and Kathy Snow of Griffin. Also surviving are five grandchildren, Alexandria Snow of Atlanta, Nick Snow of Coral Springs, FL, Sara Snow of Peachtree Corners, Rebecca Black of Woodstock and Jake Snow of Woodstock.
