Jean Snowden

 

Jean Snowden (1933-2006) photographed her neighborhood from 1983 to 1993, in images that celebrated the changing lights and seasons.

Occasionally, in an effort to encourage her neighbors to do better, she also documented neglect.

In Memoriam

Jean Snowden, June 21, 1933 – October 19, 2006

We are sad to report the death of Jean Snowden. Jean lived at the Carillon House for many years before moving to Friendship Terrace retirement home in AU Park.

She was both painter and photographer and active in neighborhood affairs. She loved nature and especially liked wandering through Glover-Archbold woods and photographing the unusual. She exhibited paintings at 1st Union Bank (now Wachovia), sold many of her photos at Glover Park Day, and always reminded her neighbors to keep the streets clean and to pick up trash and litter!
