Edward E. Snyder

Richfield, PA

Edward E. “Ed” Snyder, 74, of Richfield, entered eternal rest on Tuesday, August 2, 2022, at his home with his loving family by his side.

Ed was born on July 20, 1948, in Sunbury, a son of the late Donald Brown Snyder and I. Pauline (Womer) Snyder.  On August 16, 1969, he married his loving bride, Susan (Beaver) Snyder.  They shared over 52 years of loving one another.

He was a 1966 graduate of East Juniata High School and a 1968 graduate of Williamsport Area Community College.  Ed began his working career raising poultry with his family, a cutter at Leonard Garment, and retired as a UNICOR Production Supervisor at the United States Northeastern Penitentiary at Lewisburg and Schuylkill.  During his retirement, he assisted in the Pro Shop at Lost Creek Golf Course.

Ed was a 50-year member of Middleburg Lodge No. 619, The Tall Cedars of Lebanon, St. John Lutheran Church in Richfield, Richfield Sportsman’s Club, West Branch All Star Baseball League, “The Best” golfer at Shade Mountain Golf Course and Lost Creek Golf Course.

Ed was an avid outdoorsman who always loved golfing, hunting, fishing, baseball, and especially enjoyed vacationing on the St. Lawrence.  His ultimate enjoyment was attending his grandchildren’s sporting events and spending precious time with his loving family.  He was a friend to everyone and was always willing to lend a helping hand.  Throughout his cancer journey, Ed never lost his positive outlook, his contagious smile, and conquered everyday as a good day.

Ed is survived by his loving wife, Susan; children Tracy and Dale Maneval, Shari and Jeremy Sheaffer, Scott and Wendy (Shambach) Snyder, and Jill and Brent Musser; grandchildren, Wyatt Maneval and companion Brittney Klinepeter, Sarah Maneval and fiance’ Ethan Hoffman, Katie and Trevor Sheaffer, Levi Snyder, and Julie and Cole Musser; great-grandson Jameson Maneval; a brother George Snyder and wife Rose; a sister-in-law Mary Lou Snyder; nieces and nephews; and many close friends.

He is preceded in death by his parents; a brother Roger Snyder; and his niece Georgianna.
