Louise Snyder Obituary

Louise C. Snyder MT. PLEASANT - On January 18, 2011, Louise C. Snyder passed away peacefully in a local assisted living facility. She had been with many in her family throughout the day and simply took an early evening nap from which she awoke in the presence of our Lord. Funeral services will be held on Friday, January 21, 2011, at 11 o'clock at Wando Woods Baptist Church, 4123 Dorsey Avenue, Charleston. Burial will follow at Carolina Memorial Gardens, North Charleston. Friends and family may call at the church on Thursday from 6 o'clock until 8 o'clock PM. Louise, born on October 19, 1930, in Fairfield County S. C., was the second child born to Willie and Inez Cook. Louise grew up in Charleston, S. C. where she graduated from Chicora High School. After high school she graduated from North Greenville Junior College. There she met Ray E. Snyder and on December 21, 1951 they were married. Ray and Louise lived in Barnwell, S. C. for several years before moving to North Charleston. She worked as a bookkeeper for Mr. Calhoun Lemon in Barnwell, SC, and retired after decades of service to him and his transportation companies. Louise loved cooking, and was famous for her ham biscuits. She had a sharp mind for numbers, and kept accounting records for her company, her church, and her family. Unfortunately, she had no ability to understand such abstract ideas as a joke, much to the delight of her grandchildren who loved explaining the punch lines of knock-knock jokes to her. Louise was a charter member of Wando Woods Baptist Church. Surviving are: one son: Ray Alan Snyder (Kathy) of Mt. Pleasant, one daughter: Kathy Rogers (Kenny) of Summerville, grandchildren: Megan Flowers (Paul) of Mt. Pleasant, Gene Rogers (Mandy) of Summerville, Mary Ann Shortt (Mickey) of Banner Elk, NC, William Rogers of Seneca, great-grandchildren: Lynn and Timmons Flowers of Mt. Pleasant, Angela and Bethany Shortt of Banner Elk, NC, Taylor, Peyton and Kennison Rogers all of Summerville, one brother: Peter H. Cook (Ruth Ann) of Summerville, brother-in-law and sister-in-law: Janice S. and Remington Stone of Goose Creek, six nieces and nephews She was predeceased by her husband, her parents and her step father: Roy Bellew.

I was trying to think how long I've known Louise Snyder. It must be more than 50 years. How time flies. I knew her before we started going to Wando Woods through Creech's florist where Ray "worked". Louise had the most beautiful voice for speaking. I always told her that she should do voice recordings for the telephone. I know you will miss her and your Dad.

Her presence was so strongly felt and so is her absence. As we talk and remember your mother's kindness, gentleness, her positive spirit, we feel your loss as we celebrate her life here and much more in the place prepared specially for her in her Father's house. Warm thoughts and prayers are with you and all the family.

We loved your mom & dad so much. What precious memories we have of both of them. Aunt Louise's ham biscuits & cinnamon rolls were amazing. Every time I saw her she would talk about how much she missed my mama (Danise Cottingham Parker). They are together again in heaven. Wish we could be there but please know that our prayers are with you.
Love & Prayers,
Melanie, Rick, Ashley, & Tim Lynn

How blessed we all were to have Ray & Louise in our lives! They brought so much joy and love, comfort and caring - whether it be through Ray's love for music and joy of creating beautiful floral arrangements or Louise's comfort in the form of her delicious ham biscuits and her thoughtful, caring words of encouragement. They made such a wonderful couple that it was hard to mention one without the other. I know that as we think of them over the years we will remember them both with love, laughter, and tears. With sincere sympathy in the loss of your precious mother - Our love to the whole Snyder family - from the Jonathan Rogers family.

So sorry to hear of Louise's death. I know she will be missed tremendously. I loved her dearly and will never forget the happy times we shared together as working buddies. After retiring we still kept in touch and she was always so delightful to talk to. No finer "Lady" than Louise. My thoughts and prayers are with all of her family.

Never without a kind word and a smile for all - She will be loved, remembered, and missed for a long time.

Love and prayers from our family to yours.

Sincerely - Matt Rabon, II
