Is this a snap shove?
Short background on me for context. Been playing about 4 months with strategy in mind (i.e. played with friends/new the rules prior). Been playing my local weekly pub tournament that is $100+$10 for a few months. Good tournament with a lot of solid regs. I feel like I've gone through a phase of blissfully reckless, to jealously protecting my tournament life, now trying to get brave in the right spots again.
Last nights situation:
Middle stages, about 25ish of 45 left.
Blinds 3k/1.5k.
I'm on the button with about 30k and pocket 3's.
CO calls.
Hero calls.
SB calls.
BB shoves ~20k.
CO folds.
Hero folds.
SB folds.
BB wins 32k pot.
What I know about the BB, she got short stacked and shoved three times prior in similar spots, got called once and had KK. I know she obviously isn't going to have that every time and in fact immediately as I folded I felt I really should have called.
My only question is, is this effectively a snap shove every time with average stacks pushing towards 80k at this point? I assume her range includes all pockets, Ax, any broadway, any suited J+ and more. I even if she'd proven to be fairly nitty to that point, should I ever be folding there in those circumstances?
Thanks and any tips on format and other key info is appreciated.

Maybe I can change my screen name to "stoplimping" as that is all I have to say lately.
