She was born Sept. 14, 1910, in Conemaugh, Pa., to Grover and Myrtle May Gossard Snyder.
She graduated from Ashland College in Ohio with a teaching certificate in 1929. She taught in Ohio for two years, and then spent the next 42 years teaching in her home town, first in Conemaugh and then the last five years in Franklin once the school systems were consolidated. For most of her career she taught fifth grade – many times teaching the children and grandchildren of former students until her retirement in 1973.
She enjoyed socializing with friends, and had traveled throughout the United States and Europe. She enjoyed reading, sewing and needle crafts. Except for her years in Ohio, she was a lifelong resident of Conemaugh until this past December 2013 when she moved to an assisted living facility in Winona Lake to be near family. She was thrilled with a surprise 100th birthday party in her honor in September 2010.
She was a lifelong member of the Conemaugh Grace Brethren Church, where she faithfully taught a ladies Sunday School Class, played the piano and organ and was the church bookkeeper. Even a few weeks ago she was playing the piano for the Sunday services at Grace Village Retirement Community where she lived.
She will be lovingly remembered by her niece, Karen Basham, Mishawaka; and her nephew, David Snyder, Mason, Ohio. She was preceded in death by her parents; a brother, Blaine Snyder; and her sister, Ruth Snyder.
There is no visitation or services planned. Burial is in Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Johnstown, Pa.
Arrangements were entrusted to Redpath-Fruth Funeral Home, 225 Argonne Road, Warsaw.
