Margo Mae Snively

Margo Mae Snively, 83, of Morehead City, North Carolina, passed away on Thursday, January 15, 2026, at ECU Health Medical Center.

A funeral service to honor Margo’s life will be held at 1 p.m., Thursday, January 22, 2026, at Munden Funeral Home, officiated by Pastor John Grayson. Interment will follow at Gethsemane Memorial Park in Newport. The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service.

Born on May 21, 1942, in Lansing, Michigan, Margo was the beloved daughter of the late Kenneth and Marjora Lusch. A devout Catholic woman, her faith was a guiding force throughout her life, and she was a faithful member of St. Egbert Catholic Church.

Margo had a lifelong passion for learning and service. After earning her master’s degree, she dedicated her career to education, where she touched countless lives as both a teacher and a coach. She took great pride in helping others grow, always offering encouragement, patience, and kindness.

Outside of her career, Margo found joy in the simple pleasures of life. She was an avid reader, a talented crafter whose creativity showed in everything she made, and she never passed up the chance for a fun shopping trip. Passionate about helping others, Margo gave generously of her time and heart, including raising leader dogs for the blind—an effort that reflected her deep compassion and commitment to service.

Those remaining to cherish her memory are her devoted husband, Thomas Ervin Snively; daughters, Traci Laatsch (Robert), Staci Freyling (Dave), and Kim Taylor (Gordon); son, Andrew Troy Snively; sister, Minda Schneider (Bernard); 5 grandchildren; 2 step grandchildren; and 5 great grandchildren.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Leader Dogs for the Blind, 1039 S. Rochester Rd., Rochester Hills, MI 48307.
