Ruth and my brother, Ken created an amazing team together marrying in 1961, building a loving home and beginning their family of seven children that has now grown into a panoramic family portrait, all because two very special people fell in Love. Ruth, what a beautiful legacy you leave behind.

Ruth will be greatly missed by her family and friends. She had a wonderful sense of humor. She loved to laugh and pick on me. I will miss the speaker phone, phone calls. Ruth has earned her wings and will continue to watch over us. Ours hearts and prayers are with the family.

Ruth Ann Snyder, who I call Mom was such a beautiful example of a Loving Mother. She was also a great Mother-in-law / Friend to my wife Laura. My mom had so much love for her family and friends it’s hard to describe. She also loved God and I know she must be basking in all his glory. That gives me great comfort to know I will see her again. Rest In Peace Mom. So glad GOD chose you to be my Mom. We Love you so much.

— Joseph Snyder
