Patricia Snowden died December 20, 2022.

She organized and led the first international trip in 1983, taking students to Italy, Greece and the Mediterranean. A year later, she took students to England and France.

Wayne Fowler ’83 says, “She is one of the great teachers and influences during my time at St. Andrew's and beyond. I am privileged to have benefitted from her interest, guidance and care until her last day with us. There are so many stories I can share. At the Clara Barton campus in Cabin John, Mrs. Snowden taught us the American revolution from the British point of view. That semester opened my eyes to history I otherwise would have missed. That semester opened my mind to consider more points of view on wider horizons. It is this wealth of knowledge, generosity of spirit and kindness of heart that was key in building the St. Andrew's Episcopal School that lives and thrives today.”

Patricia’s daughter, Juliane, says, “Mom loved every moment at St. Andrew’s and her students were her pride and joy. She remembered all of you and spoke of your accomplishments both as students and as adults. The Classes of ’83 through ’86 were particularly special to Mom.” A service was held in early April at Church of the Redeemer in Bethesda.
