Sarah "Sally" A. Snyder Obituary

Conneaut- Sarah “Sally”A. Snyder, 87, passed away Thursday, November 2, 2023 at UH-Conneaut Medical Center.

Sarah was born on July 18, 1936 in Conneaut, Ohio the daughter of Leonard J. and Frances A. (Sedler) Vignal. She was a 1954 graduate of Conneaut High School, and attended Kent State University, studying to be a teacher. Sarah married her high school sweetheart, George J. “Cowboy” Snyder, on May 27, 1955, the first couple to be married at St. Frances Cabrini Catholic Church. She was a devote Catholic, raising her family at St. Mary’s Catholic Church. Sarah was a member of the Corpus Christi Parish.

Her family will remember her as an amazing mother, selfless, loving, caring, and devoted to her husband, children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and extended family. All she wanted in life was to be a wife and mother, which she excelled at and loved family dinners and was resourceful yet created scrumptious dinners. No one rolled a meatball like Sally and everyone loved her Friday night homemade pizza. She was also a game show aficionado, an avid reader, OSU Buckeye football fan and had a keen sense of humor. Above all else, she loved her family dearly, treasured the time spent together and was very supportive of them.

Sarah will be dearly missed by her children, Karen (Robert) DeVilbiss, Cindy Ross, Mindy (Bernie) Roskovics, David (Debbie) Snyder, and Janet Rossman; grandchildren, Aaron DeVilbiss, Amanda (Ray) Case, Nathan Ross, Nicholas Price, Anthony, Sarah and Jacob Snyder, Cody (Nikki) Rossman and Chad Rossman; great-grandchildren, Dylan, Esther and Cody Jon “CJ”; sister, Susan Holden; and her nephews, Ron (Amy) Bessetti and Kevin (Kristi) Holden.

She was preceded in death by her parents; beloved husband, George J. “Cowboy” Snyder; stillborn daughter, Cathy Ann; grandsons, Ryan and Kyle DeVilbiss; brother-in-law, Chuck Holden; and fiancé of Janet Rossman, Marvin S. Maire.
