Don Snow was deeply devoted to God, family, and country. He was a faithful member of the LDS Church; a loving and caring son, brother, husband, father, and grandfather; and a determined athlete, soldier, veteran, and patriot. Don was softhearted and strong as nails. His father, Karl Nelson Snow, died when he was ten years old. He could never talk about his dear dad without crying. He courageously faced death during World War II at the Normandy Invasion and at the Battle of the Bulge with his buddies of the 2nd Infantry (Indianhead) Division. Don met his sweetheart, Anne Greaves, at BYU, and they were married in the Salt Lake Temple on April 5, 1951. Don was 6'4" and loved basketball. He played at Dixie High, BY High, and BYU. For 27 years, he was a head basketball coach at Milford, North Summit, BY High, and Granger High Schools. He preferred "Coach" over any other title.

Don was born and grew up in St. George and dearly loved his many relatives. He was named after his grandfathers, Edward Hunter Snow and Dr. Donald Alpine McGregor.

We are certain his spirit has had a glorious reunion with his father, Karl Nelson Snow; his mother, Wanda McGregor Snow; and his brothers Tony, Shipley, and Ellsworth Snow. Don was a mentor and father figure to many of his players, and particularly to his nephews and nieces whose fathers suffered untimely deaths.

[Deseret News, Wednesday, April 7, 2010]. ~ ~ ~ ~ HIS WIFE'S OB ITUARY: Angeline Anne Greaves Snow died peacefully in her Provo home surrounded by family on October 21, 2020, at the age of 96. Anne (with an "e") was born on March 10, 1924, in Salt Lake City, Utah, to loving parents Harry George Greaves (Theoharis Georgios Grivos) of Lafkos, Greece, and Sarah Smith of Snowflake, Arizona. Her father, a skilled carpenter, built their family home on Imperial Street where they raised their children, Anne being the third of six. Anne loved to run and play with her siblings and many friends. She had a brilliant mind and always made an effort to excel in school. She enjoyed music, dancing, playwriting, and acting. Growing up in the Great Depression, she felt keenly the value of the dollar, and she always expressed how blessed her family was to be able to grow their own food, raise goats, and never go hungry. After Anne graduated from Granite High School, she attended Brigham Young University and stayed in Amanda Knight Hall. She made many lifelong friends from all over the country. She had a great personality and was a caring and loving friend. Anne was resourceful and a hard worker. Her brothers served in World War II and told her that she could use their broken-down Model A Ford. She worked for the ration board and earned money and stamps for tires and gasoline. She got the car fixed up and this maroon roadster gave her added independence. Anne did her part to help the war effort by writing her two brothers, her cousins, and many friends who were servicemen. At one time she counted 47 servicemen she was writing, giving them all words of encouragement during this difficult time. After attending BYU for a few years, Anne moved back home to Salt Lake. She got a job at KSL Radio where she was able to attend the University of Utah in the morning and work at KSL in the afternoon. Anne was a skilled typist, a talented writer and gifted public speaker. She had her own radio show at KSL called "Lady of the House" where she interviewed prominent women. While working at KSL Radio, she tells of an experience on VJ Day, August 14, 1945. The war was officially over. Celebrations filled the streets of every town in America. Anne, Verda Mae Fuller, Maurine and Helen Lee, and some other girlfriends jumped into her cute maroon roadster and drove past the crowds on State Street in Salt Lake City. People everywhere were cheering with joy and thanksgiving. As Anne and her friends stopped at an intersection, one group of elated servicemen surrounded her car and lifted both the roadster and its attractive occupants right off the ground. It was such a joyous and yet poignant moment for Anne, a scene that you can almost picture on a movie screen. Afterwards, she went back to work at KSL, deeply impacted by the bittersweetness of it all. Some of her good friends who had fought in the war were injured or killed. Her biggest sorrow, mixed in with the happiness, was the contemplation of her brother George, who died when his P-51 fighter plane crashed. He would never return home. She couldn’t help herself as tears freely flowed. Her boss, C. Richard Evans, asked her what the matter was. An hour later a beautiful bouquet of roses arrived on her desk. She never forgot this kindness. In 1948 Anne served as student body secretary of BYU and was chosen Dream Girl by the Delta Phi fraternity. She received her bachelor’s degree in elementary education. She worked at KCSU Radio station in Provo, where she helped manage programming traffic. She also typed many students’ master’s theses, including that of her good friend, musician Crawford Gates. Two of Anne’s roommates, Mary Ellen Christensen and Helen Olpin, had married two brothers, Tony and Ellsworth Snow, and thus Anne met E. Donald, another Snow brother. It was in 1950 that they started dating and fell in love. They were married in the Salt Lake Temple on April 5, 1951. After the anxious experiences of the war, they were both very happy to be married and ready to start their family in their newly purchased Provo home. Don taught classes and coached sports at BY High School. Anne typed Don’s master’s thesis on the history of the LDS All-Church Basketball Tournament. She also, with her friends, organized the Tamiris Club, a literary group that has lasted for over sixty years. Ed, Cherie, and Sarah were born in Provo. In 1959 Don and Anne moved their family to Granger, Utah, where Don was offered the head coaching job at the newly constructed Granger High School. Randy and Wanda were born while the family lived in Granger. Anne was an inspiring elementary school teacher, teaching the 5th and 6th grades for 25 years. She loved her students and they loved her. She was a patient and creative teacher. Anne wrote a student production every year for students to perform. She wrote clever lyrics for familiar tunes and taught them to her students. On Halloween she wore a white wig and was “Miss Rain” instead of Mrs. Snow. She had a great interest in American history and used historical films and slide shows to bring history to life for her students. When she would encounter her students years later—in a store or public venue—she would greet them with love and enthusiasm. A former student, Harlan Bangerter said, “I always felt that she treated me like the Prince of Wales.” In 1976 she took a sabbatical from her teaching position, working to get her master’s degree from the University of Utah. She wrote "The Red Hill", a children’s book using the story of Don’s family growing up in St. George, as her thesis. She also received her media center coordinator certificate. Later, she wrote a history of Don’s World War II experiences and also "The Missing Link on Mary Lincoln", in which she adamantly defends the former First Lady. Anne has always been a devoted member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In 1993 Anne and Don served an LDS mission in Athens, Greece. They touched many lives with their service, love and devotion to the gospel of Jesus Christ. Anne was very proud of her Greek heritage and of her devoted father, who was one of the first Greeks to be baptized into The Church of Jesus Christ. Anne’s tireless energy helped her raise her family of five active and talented children. Anne and Don provided their children with wonderful childhoods, giving them all tremendous educational, physical, and spiritual opportunities. Anne and Don considered their children’s successes to be their proudest moments. Anne and Don were amazing grandparents and enjoyed attending their grandchildren’s activities. Anne would always count grandchildren’s spouses as her own grandchildren. She loved visits from everyone. Anne loved her Savior, Jesus Christ, and followed His example of service and unconditional love throughout her life. Anne is preceded in death by her beloved husband, Don; her parents; and siblings Cleah, George, Lois, and Ted. She is survived by her younger brother Eldon (Ruth) and also by her children: Edward (Eileen), Cherie (Colin) Campbell, Sarah (Dennis) Trop, Randy (Ronda), Wanda (Sean) Frost. She will be greatly missed by her 15 grandchildren and, at the latest count, 25 great grandchildren. The family’s deepest gratitude goes out to compassionate and loving caregivers, hospice nurses, and home health providers. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, attendance at the services on Saturday, October 31, 2020, will be by invitation only. Please visit www.bergmortuary.com to submit condolences to the family. Source
