Wendy Sue Snyder, 58

Obituary and service information from Covenant Funeral Service.

Wendy Sue Snyder, 58, of Fredericksburg went to heaven on Tuesday, May 31, 2016.

She was born on January 5, 1958 at Arlington Hospital. Wendy grew up on Lewis Street in a home next door to historic Kenmore. Her life was quite adventurous; for instance, a desire to travel led her to become a tractor trailer driver. She was also an experienced equestrian, skier and an avid angler.

Wendy’s calling was to be a medical caregiver which she did for the last 30 years of her life. She often worked with hospice and terminally ill patients.

Wendy learned from her parents and patients about what is really important in life. She felt the best revenge to evil is to give more of oneself in helping others. Wendy was generous almost to a fault and would do anything for anyone.

She was preceded in death by her parents Robert Francis and Mary Ann Snyder. She leaves a brother, Robert P. Snyder; sister Julie Gatewood; five nieces and nephews; four great nieces and nephews; many close friends; and her beloved cats Chester and Lucy.

A celebration of Wendy’s life will be held at 2 p.m. on Saturday, June 11 at Fredericksburg United Methodist Church.

In lieu of flowers please donate to Fredericksburg United Methodist Church, or the Fredericksburg Regional SPCA.
