Camille Idonia Snell Condalary, a beloved wife, mother, and friend, passed away peacefully in the care of hospice in McComb, Mississippi, on September 9, 2025. She was 88 years old.
Born on February 3, 1937, Camille was a lifelong resident of Mt. Hermon, Louisiana. She graduated from Mt. Hermon High School and soon after married the love of her life, Herbert Condalary. Together they shared a devoted marriage. During Herbert’s military service, they traveled to Cape Canaveral for 4 years before returning home to Mt. Hermon, where they established their own dairy farm beside the family farm of Doug and Robbie Snell.
Camille also built a successful career in tax preparation. She began her work alongside N. L. Smith in Franklinton before starting her own practice from home following the birth of their son, Jeffery Hunter Condalary, in 1969. Her family later grew with the arrival of their daughter, Julee Paige Condalary, in 1977.
An enterprising woman, Camille later opened a grocery store at Porter’s Curve, proudly carrying on the legacy of her father, Harold Mason Snell. Known for serving “the best burgers in Mt. Hermon,” she created a warm and welcoming space for her community. She later transitioned to healthcare, working as an admitting clerk at Riverside Hospital in Franklinton, where her kindness and dedication touched many lives.
After her retirement, Camille moved to McComb, Mississippi, to be closer to her children. She cherished time with her family and found great joy in traveling, entertaining, and cooking. Always eager to connect, she embraced Facebook in her later years, delighting in keeping up with family and friends near and far.
