September 11, 1933 – October 7, 2022
Nancy Ellis Snyder, 89, passed away Friday, October 7, 2022, at Otterbein Senior Neighborhood-Springboro. She was born September 11, 1933, in Farmland, Indiana, a daughter to the late Vera Leona (Harmon) and Lawrence “Dick” Traxler.
She was a loving, sweet soul with a strong work ethic. Just picture Rosie the Riveter grit with a heart and soul for helping others and a sweet tooth to boot. She resided in Rosehill while working for Sheller-Globe before making the move to Dayton to be closer to her sons and grandchildren. She established residency in Washington Township and got straight to work at the local IGA Market in the Deli Department. She retired as the Deli Manager after 12 years. She always loved the nostalgia of the Great Darke County Fair for its food and “Old Folks Tent” banter where she could meet family and friends galore. Her cooking, famous pineapple salad, and homemade peanut butter fudge will live on with her fond memories.
Left to cherish her memory are brothers & sisters-in-law, William “Bill” & Nell Snyder; Virginia “Ginny” (Snyder) & Lonny Gibbons; and Harry “Trace” Snyder, sons David Snyder and Michael Snyder, grandchildren Joshua Snyder; Kelley (Snyder) & Doug Kershner; Adam Snyder; and Austin Snyder. As well as great grandchildren Harper; Hadley; and Stella Snyder. In addition to her parents, she preceded in death by her siblings, Ollis Traxler; Gene Traxler; and Sue Bowers; and daughter-in-law, Linda (Austerman) Snyder.
Visitation will be October 14, 2022 from 11 to 1 PM at Reichard Funeral Home located at 400 W. Deerfield Rd, Union City, IN 47390. Funeral Service will follow with burial in the Union City Cemetery.
