Carolyn  L. Snyder, 85, of Reynolds, passed away at 11:23 pm, Sunday, October 29, 2023 at  IU Health Arnett Hospital in Lafayette.

She was born on August 28, 1938 in Earl Park, Indiana to the late Harry and Isabelle (Hardebeck) Bessler. On July 23, 1960 she married Tonie Snyder in Three Oaks, Michigan.  He survives.

She was a lifetime member of St. Joseph Catholic church in Reynolds where she was active in the Altar and Rosary Society.  She was a 1956 graduate of Chalmers High School and Lafayette Beauty Academy. She was primarily a homemaker. She worked for a few years as a beautician and as an attendant at Hoovers gas station formerly in Reynolds.

She enjoyed ceramics and was a skilled painter.  She was an excellent cook and was known for her tea rings.  Thanksgiving and Christmas were special holidays to her as it was an opportunity to bring her cherished family together.  She loved her family, especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.  One of her most memorable trips was to Gulf Shores where she was able to get in the water, in a rented special made wheelchair, and have a family photo taken.
