Obituary For Ruth Ann Snider

Ruth Ann Snider, 87, of Wintersville, Ohio, was welcomed into heaven on July 6, 2017, after struggling valiantly with multiple medical problems. She was born on July 14, 1929; just eight days shy of her 88th birthday.

Ruth married the love of her life, Frank John Snider Sr. on February 27, 1948, but lost that love on May 3, 2008. They were married for 60 amazing years!

In addition to her husband, Ruth is preceded in death by her daughter, Clara Bissell; son, Frank Snider Jr.; granddaughter, Yvonne Baney as well as her parents, William and Dorothy Dibell Bubb, her brother, Jim Bubb and her sisters, Eleanor Lindsey, Norma Haswell, Jean Schlegel, Lillian Hall and Florence Bingle.

This dedicated mother of ten set the standard for working hard and helping others. Ruth was a woman of faith who remembered with a generous spirit, everyone's birthday and anniversary. Most important to her was time spent with her family and her two dogs, Sugar and Bubby. She was an outstanding cook and enjoyed preparing meals for her family. She thoroughly enjoyed listening to her husband play the guitar and sing. She loved planting flowers in the spring and made the most of each day by working in her yard.

She leaves to cherish her memory seven daughters, Caroline McGarrity and Bethany Hickman both of Steubenville, OH, Kathy (Bruce) Myers, Pamela (Ed) Mangerie and Sharon (Roger) Baney - all of Ellwood City, PA, Mary (Drew) Ohorodnyk of Koppel, PA, Ruth Walsh of Weirton, WV; one son Aaron Snider of Berlin, MD; her sister, Pat (Don) Schlegel, Ashtabula, OH and her brothers, William (Phyllis) Bubb, John (Barb) Bubb, Robert Bubb, and Paul Bubb all of Ellwood City, PA and a host of grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces, nephews and other loving relatives and friends who now reluctantly and sadly say good-bye and Godspeed to a beautiful human being and the queen of our hearts!

In lieu of flowers memorial donations may be given in her name to St. Mark Lutheran Church, 133 Lovers Lane, Steubenville, Ohio 43953.

Arrangements entrusted to Dunlope – Shorac Funeral Home, Wintersville, Ohio.

    I'll remember our hugs, how you tried to get me to east egg sandwiches which never turned out so swell. You were a great "mam". I know you hated being called "that other phrase" so out of respect for you we'll just keep that on the hush. It was an honor to drive home to see your beautiful face and spending a few hours with you during my stay home before having to drive back to Texas. The family is always going to have their different views, respectfully. My view is that you raised 10 kids and what an incredible legacy you left behind. Leaders shake things up and leaders are always faced with people not liking them. This is life, natural and simply to be expected. How you and Pap did it is beyond me but that example you both left for your children is one I'll never forget. I'll remember you for as long as I live and look forward to seeing you again in the spiritual realm. You are a warrior, loved and left behind a massive family that all will remember you. I've got your 6 Ma'am. It is a saying we as Soldiers have which means I've got your back, whether that means watching out for your loved ones. It is an honor to be your grandson. I love you.

    It is with a very heavy heart that I have to say good by to my sister and your mother. I have many good memories. I am so glad I got to see her one more time. We had alot of missed years but she was always in my heart. It's been a tough year. Be strong, she is in heaven now. No more suffering. Love Uncle Bob

    In our minds we always knew this time would come to pass.But knowing it, and living it,has come and gone so fast.Goodbyes are often hard to say, because they hurt so very much.Though you're not gone. You still remain, in the minds, hearts, and lives of everyone you touched. Aunt Ruth? when you get there, Say Hi to Uncle Jack for me .. I will miss you both.
