Darla (Snodgrass) Schreier
Darla (Snodgrass) Schreier, age 62, of Orrick, MO, passed away Wednesday, Mar. 28, 2018, at St. Luke's Hospital in Kansas City. She was born on Nov. 24, 1955, the daughter of Daryl and Mary Lou (Logan) Snodgrass in Lexington.
Darla grew up in Polo and was a 1973 graduate of Polo High School. She obtained a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Northwest Missouri State University. On Feb. 16, 1993, she was united in marriage to Tommy Schreier in Miami, OK, and they made their home in Orrick.
Darla worked as the assistant personnel director for the Jackson County Circuit Court for over 25 years. She was a good wife, wonderful mother and grandmother, and a good friend to many. Darla was giving, caring and selfless. She always put others ahead of herself. Darla was strong willed. She was family and people oriented. Her family described her as the greatest person in the world. Darla would often say, “just remember, the glass is never half empty, it’s half full.” She will be dearly missed by all who knew her, especially her family and many friends.
