Heaven gained another angel as Karen Snead went to be with the Lord on July 3, 2021. On November 21, 1960, she was born to James Lassiter and the late Janice Lassiter.

Karen greatly enjoyed spending time with friends and family making memories whenever possible. What brought her the most joy was spending time with her most favorite person, her grandson Aaron, and spoiling him every chance she could. She was a loving mother, daughter, and Nana.

Karen was preceded by her mother Janice Lassiter, which she will soon see again. She leaves behind her father James Lassiter (Faye), her children Michael Snead, James Snead (Amanda), Christina Gaita (Sammy) her pride and joy grandson Aaron (aka Bug), stepbrothers, Bob Horne (Michelle) and David Horne (Mary), and the rest of the family to include aunts, uncle, cousins, nieces and nephews.

She will surely be missed but will be forever free in Heaven.

Family and friends will gather for a graveside service on July 21, 2021, at 3 PM at Peninsula Memorial Park, 12750 Warwick Blvd., Newport News, VA 23606.

Arrangements are under the care of Peninsula Funeral Home, 11144 Warwick Blvd., Newport News, VA 23601.
