Indian Island - Felicia "Pudd" L. Snell, 29, was born on December 8, 1995, in Bangor, ME, to Shannon Snell and Richard 'Dickie' Priest. Pudd was a radiant and spirited soul who lived her life with an insatiable thirst for adventure, a heart full of love, yet unapologetically honest and sassy. She was a beacon of joy and kindness, her life being a testament to the power of an open heart and a steadfast spirit.
Pudd worked as a Support Professional at Volunteers of America and was getting ready to start a new job helping people, a role that she embraced with immense passion and dedication. Pudd was known for her loving and thoughtful nature, always taking the time to lend a helping hand or a comforting word. Pudd had a deep love for her friends, treating them not just as acquaintances but as family. She enjoyed watching movies with snacks, cooking and going shopping. Her bond with Tasheena was particularly special, their relationship mirroring the closeness of sisters. She was a lover of music festivals, immersing herself in the rhythm and energy of the crowd. Traveling was important to her, especially to California. Yet, she also found joy in the tranquility of home, especially during Christmas, where she enjoyed the lights and a festive atmosphere. Her beloved cat, Sunshine, was a constant companion source of happiness and a constant memory of her late mother.
"In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years," Abraham Lincoln once said, and it was a quote that perfectly encapsulated Felicia's approach to life. She lived her years to the fullest, exploring, loving, and giving relentlessly. Pudd is predeceased by her mom, Shannon Snell; her nana, Theresa Bartlett; her uncles, Uncle Scott Sapiel, Uncle Shawn Snell, Uncle David Sapiel & Uncle Sheldon Snell. She is survived by her Aunt/ Godmother, Karen Sharon Paul; her best cousin/soul sister, Tasheena Sapiel; her brother, Richard Priest Jr.; her sister, Cassidy Priest; her Uncle, Stevie Snell; her grampy, John Bartlett; her auntie, Sue Sapiel and special cousin Krystal Sapiel as well as many other cousins.
