Miracle A. Sniffen, a Lake Peekskill resident, passed away on Feb. 5. She was 63.
Miracle was born on Apr. 27, 1958, in North Tarrytown to the late Donald and Georgina (Beardsley) Sniffen. She recently retired from her job as a CNA for the Montrose VA, where she was extremely proud to work as a caretaker to countless veterans over the years.
Miracle was a beautiful person inside and out. She was outgoing and witty. She had a great sense of humor and was a fan of standup comedy; George Carlin was her absolute favorite. She liked a good pun and loved a bad one. She enjoyed watching her Jets every Sunday. She loved the outdoors and would spend countless hours at Croton Dam and Croton Point Park. She loved observing wildlife, such as the many species of birds that would come to bathe and eat at her birdhouses and bath. She loved music as well, especially the Eagles and Elton John. She also enjoyed classic television such as “The Honeymooners” and “I Love Lucy.” Most of all she loved spending time with her family, especially her children and her beloved granddaughter Izzy.
She is survived by her children, Aaron Cassese (Kirsty) and Amy Masopust (David); granddaughter Isabella; siblings Donald, Frances, Alfred (Barbara), Robert (Mary) and Charles (Marie) Sniffen; and many nieces and nephews. She is predeceased by her husband, Arthur Spring; sisters Holly Rodriguez, Rosemary Underwood and Geraldine Sniffen; and her brother, Joseph Sniffen.
A memorial Mass was held on Feb. 12 at Holy Name of Mary Church in Croton-on-Hudson. Flowers are accepted, or in lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Wounded Warrior Project (www.woundedwarriorproject.org).
