Ruth Snyder was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. She left this world on August 15, 2022, at the age of 65. Her battle with cancer displayed her ability to remain courageous and full of faith in the midst of life’s challenges.

After graduating from Ray High School in 1975, she received an associate degree from Del Mar College in Corpus Christi. Ruth married Randy in 1987, and they moved to Houston and later San Angelo.

Whether through the delicious meals she made, parties she hosted, or church involvement and volunteer work, her impact on the community will last for many years to come. In addition to dark chocolate, Cher’s music, and European travel, she loved being surrounded by and caring for others.
