Snyder and wife Jean of McClure; grandchildren Heinz, Ty and companion Shannon, Michael, Bethany, Rebekah and husband John, and Heidi; great grandchildren Rachel, Hannah, Isaiah, Sarah, Benjamin, and great step-grandchild Sara; and great-great step-grandchild Beckham.

She was a wonderful mother and grandmother. She is remembered not only for her skill as a seamstress at Kirby Manufacturing in McClure, but also for her kindness and the warm, welcoming home she created for everyone she loved.

Per her wishes, no services will be held. Arrangements are under the care of Heller-Hoenstine Funeral Home, 108 First Ave., Burnham.
