Snuggs, Grace del Carmen

August 23, 1973 –
 February 3, 2014

Obituary

Our beloved Grace passed away peacefully Monday morning, February 3, 2014 after a long journey with cancer.  She was surrounded by family and friends. Holy Rosary and Visitation will be held on Friday, February 7, 2014 from 6:00-8:00 P.M., at ARIA Memorial Chapel. The funeral Mass will be held at 12:00 Noon at All Saints Catholic Church located at 5231 Meadowcreek Drive, Dallas, Texas 75248. Reception to follow. In lieu of flowers, please consider current and/or future gifts to: The RISE School of Dallas, 5923 Royal Lane, Dallas, Texas 75230 in memory of Grace Snuggs.  This non-profit organization was very important to Grace. Dr. Snuggs was employed as an Assistant Professor with Baylor College of Dentistry in Dallas since January 2006.  She enjoyed sharing her knowledge with dental students in clinical settings in the Restorative Sciences department. She also served as the Faculty Advisor for the Hispanic Student Dental Association for many years. Dr. Snuggs was also the advisor at the Oral Health department to teach the dental students the importance of communication with children with special needs.  She was proud to contribute professionally for the United States of America by providing on-base pre-deployment dental screenings for military units heading to Iraq and Afghanistan, both in Mississippi and in Texas. Grace came to the United States to learn English and for post-doctoral studies in May 1999.   For anyone to learn a second language in adulthood is impressive!  She learned English and was immersed in the culture of the United States in the Washington DC / northern Virginia area.  She then moved to Jackson, Mississippi for a dental residency at University of Mississippi Medical Center.  Jeff and Grace met in Jackson in 2004 and were married with a civil wedding in Mississippi in 2005 and a church wedding in Panama in 2006.

    Jeff and family showed me what unconditional love is. Grace strengthened my faith watching her trust and rely on God. Her spirit will continue to live through Michael and Ana Grace.

"If I could give 6 stars I would. Aria made a difficult easier to deal with by basically taking care of everything in an efficient but very empathetic manner. I can speak highly enough of Dusty Martin, who helped us with all of the planning and logistics. He was incredibly understanding and helpful."

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"
