Ruth Farley Snyder
d. February 18, 2017
Ruth Farley Snyder, 93, a resident of Pocono Manor, and formerly of Scranton, died on Saturday evening at Holy Family Residence in Scranton. She was the widow of Joseph Donald Snyder, who died June 24, 2008, after 63 years of marriage.
Born in Scranton, the daughter of John and Mary O'Boyle Farley, she was a graduate of Scranton Central High School. For many years, she worked at the University of Scranton in payroll management, while raising her family in the Nativity section of town.
After retiring, Ruth and Don became inveterate snowbirds who, for over three decades, traded the cold and snowy winters of the Pocono Northeast for the warm and sunny climate of their second home in Bradenton, Fla.
The family would like to sincerely thank the Little Sisters of the Poor and the entire staff at Holy Family for making Ruth's time there most welcoming, comfortable and blessed.
Surviving Ruth are a daughter, Linda Snyder, Clarks Summit; three sons, Donald and wife, Nancy, Pocono Manor; Thomas and wife, Mary, Glen Ellyn, Ill.; and Kevin, Bradenton, Fla.; a sister, Mary Ryder, Binghamton, N.Y.; a sister-in-law, Mary Farley, Scranton; five grandchildren; three great-grandchildren; and several nieces and nephews.
She was also preceded in death by a brother, Jack Farley; and a sister, Jean Miller.
A memorial service will be celebrated on Friday at 10:30 a.m. in the chapel of Holy Family Residence, 2500 Adams Ave., Scranton, by Father Francis Kelly. Interment private, Cathedral Cemetery, at the convenience of the family.
Arrangements, Frank M. Regan Funeral Home, 715 Linden St., Scranton.
In lieu of flowers, consider a memorial contribution to the Little Sisters of the Poor, c/o Holy Family Residence, 2500 Adams Ave., Scranton, PA 18509, so that they may continue to provide the most excellent medical and spiritual care to other such fortunate residents and their families.
