Snyder

Betty Louise Snyder, 83, of Cranberry Township, passed away peacefully at home in the early evening of Memorial Day, May 30, 2022.

She was born a two-pound surviving twin on May 23, 1939, in Warrendale, to Ernest Sr. and Elsie Hendrickson Barrickman.

Betty was given a spirit of tender resilience that empowered her throughout her life in her roles as caregiver, wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.

Following graduation from North Allegheny High School in 1957, where she was a member of the Future Homemakers of America, she pursued her passion to care for the elderly as a certified nurse’s aide.

Betty poured her heart and her time into care giving for her father, mother and two older brothers in the final years of each of their lives, which inspired her daughter to follow a calling in the medical field.

Along with her parents and many friends and family, Betty was reunited in Heaven with her husband of 60 years, Robert “Bob,” whom she married on June 2, 1962; her three brothers, her twin, Robert, and Ernest Jr. and William Barrickman; and two miscarried babies.

Bob and Betty spent 54 years together on Earth before his passing. They shared a multitude of adventures together, including building their homestead in 1971, camping, hunting, fishing, landscaping and golfing.

Betty became a member of a bowling league in Zelienople in the early 1990s, where lifetime friendships were treasured on foundations of laughter and love.

Betty loved to go on bus trips with her husband and friends to musical and theatre performances, but her very favorite place of all was Branson, Mo., where she visited over 20 times, due in great portion to her love for country/western music.

Betty was a member of Plains Presbyterian Church in Cranberry Township, where she served in the choir and as a Sunday school teacher, and was an example of selflessness to her children.

Betty is survived by her daughter, Belinda Ann (Bryan) Stillman of Erie; her son, Ronald Allan Snyder of Clarion; two grandsons, Eli and Noah; one stepgranddaughter, Ashley; two stepgreat-grandchildren, Theodore and Evelyn; and her sister, Beverly (Jack) Greer of Ellwood City.
