Gloria Snyder Obituary
We are sad to announce that on August 8, 2018 we had to say goodbye to Gloria Snyder (Holton, Kansas), born in Arkansas City, Kansas. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.
She is survived by: her spouse Vernon C. Snyder; and her children, Toka Jean, Daniel L. and David L..
When they traveled she, at 4'11", did all the driving of their 22' motor home. She was an avid reader of romance novels, reading four or five a week. Gloria liked people and they shared the hospitality of their home on many pleasant evenings with their friends. For over twenty years she spent the winters in Arizona with her two daughters and grandchildren. Not only did she enjoy the warm weather, she spent precious time with Heidi and Carlie teaching them how to cook and sew, helping with Girl Scouts, driving them to dance and watching them perform. Always the beloved Grammy that would sneak cookies and candy when Mom wasn't looking! She was preceded in death by her husband Vernon in 1999, her brother Calvin Wilkers and her sister Rosemary Wilkers Hardy. She is survived by three children, Joyanna Lowdermilk Hammond, Tempe AZ, H. Bruce (Linda) Lowdermilk, Spring Hill, KS and Alma Lowdermilk Riedel, Gilbert AZ, three stepchildren, Toka Snyder Smith (Steve), WA, Daniel Snyder, Roswell NM and David (Debbie) Snyder, Holton KS. She leaves behind two grandchildren (Heidi and Carlie Riedel), six step-grandchildren and many, many dear close friends. A Celebration of Life will be held at the First United Methodist Church, 1401 W. 4th St. in Holton on Monday, August 20, 2018, at 11:00 a.m. Pink was Gloria's favorite color and it would be nice if she saw lots of pink in the church that day. In lieu of flowers, memorials are suggested to the Jackson County Historical Society and may be sent in care of the Chapel Oaks Funeral Home in Holton, P.O. Box 1034, Holton, KS 66436.
