Lucy Violet SNAPE was aged 22 years when the Titanic sank. She died in the sinking and her body was never recovered. Her last known address was Well Lane, Sandhills, Witley, Surrey, England
The Daily Sketch (30 April 1912) reported the experiences of two surviving stewardesses - Mrs Gold and Mrs Martin - as follows:
"The stewardess-matron, Mrs Wallis, refused to leave her room. Her remark was "I am not going on deck; I am going back where I am safe." Another one who refused to move was a second-cabin stewardess, Mrs Snape, a widow, 21 years of age with a little girl. As she fastened the lifebelts on her passengers she wished them good-bye. Later she told some of the stewardesses that she did not expect to see them again."
