The former Mary Catherine Hester was born August 13, 1928, in Russellville, Alabama, the daughter of Carroll and Susie (Coburn) Hester. She received her teaching degree from Florence State Teaching School (now North Alabama University) and taught 1st grade for five years in Alabama. She married Billy Sneed on May 16, 1953, in Russellville.

Mary Catherine was an active member of First Presbyterian Church, serving on several committees over the years. She belonged to the Garden Club, and volunteered at Moline Public Hospital and Meals on Wheels. She was an avid bridge player and had a laugh that you could hear across the room.

She is survived by her beloved husband of over 66 years, Billy; two daughters and sons-in-law, Beverly and Bill Nesbit of St. Charles, Illinois, and Marilyn and Greg Cornish of Nashville, Tennessee; and four grandchildren, Nate (Caitlyn) Nesbit, Sam Nesbit, Grant (Caitlin) Cornish, and Emily (Zack) Jaeger. She was preceded in death by her parents; a brother, James Roland Hester; and three sisters, Anne Keener, Carolyn Jolly, and Marjorie Hester.
