I’m so sorry to hear about your loss. As a kid I loved visiting my Mommom and Poppop Nixon and having Aunt Snookie drop by looking fashionable and fabulous. We were all her “baby girls!” 🙂 I always thought she was a woman that lived with a lot of joy, and I hope she finds joy, peace, and rest in the next life. You all are in our thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
Naseem Nixon

To my cousin’s Jill, John and Chuck. I’m so sorry to hear about the passing of cousin Snookie. She definitely was a loving beautiful soul and will be missed. I have a lot of fond memories of her being apart of my village as a child growing up. From Church St, Howard Ave with my grandparents (George and Sis Boots) and on down to the garden at Uncle Eli’s house on Marshall. Continued prayers for you all and much love family.
