Friday, May 2, 2014 in Sayre, OK at the age of 98 years, 8 moths and 17
days. She was the youngest of six children.
Margie's parents divorced when she was very small, so there was hard
times, and several moves. At age five, they moved to Oklahoma City, OK
where Margie started school. By the time she was thirteen, she and her

school on a bus, where in the driver's seat sat a handsome sixteen year
old named Alvin Snowden, who was also an outstanding basketball player.
On October 12, 1934 Margie Belle and Alvin were married in Sayre, OK and
raised five children.
Margie Belle was a wonderful cook and famous for her pecan pies. She
loved canning and making jelly, most of which she gave away. She was
very generous, loving, and always had a smile. She later worked as a
waitress at Hamburger King and Cal's Cafe where she inherited the
nickname "Sunshine". She also worked at the Oklahoma Information Center.
In 1987, Margie began performing as "Minnie Pearl". She performed for
Roy Rogers and Dale Evans in their California home and also the
Lieutenant Governor of Oklahoma and countless other events.
She spent her life serving others including her large family, her
church, and anyone who needed encouragement. They were all precious to
her and she enjoyed making them laugh.
Margie Belle was preceded in death by her husbands, Alvin Snowden,
Herbert Oren, and Roy Fowler; one grandson, Jamie Munford; and
