Heidi Nicole Snyder

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Heidi Nicole Snyder, a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother, who left this world on December 1, 2025 in Fairborn, Ohio at the age of 78.

Born on May 11, 1947, in York, Pennsylvania to Bernice and Jacob Bose, Heidi grew up with a strong sense of determination and compassion that shaped every part of her life.

Heidi built a remarkable career as a Registered Nurse, admired by colleagues for her integrity, work ethic and kindness. While she excelled in her profession, her proudest role was being a wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother. She was always there with a listening ear and warm embrace, offering unwavering love and support for her family.

She found immense joy in cooking, gardening and caring for animals, especially her beloved cats Mia and Megan. Her home was filled with warmth, laughter and the comforting presence of family traditions.

Heidi is survived by her loving husband, James R Snyder, daughter Michelle Arlinghaus and husband Brian, son Jonathan Dyer and wife Rochelle, grandchildren Anthony and Sophia DeLisio, Fallon and Jacob Dyer, Tristan, Anja and Gavin Arlinghaus, Elaina and Lydia Halye and her great granddaughter Addison Gaddis, and many extended family members and friends who will cherish her memory.

Her legacy of compassion, resilience and love will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew her.

There will be a Graveside service on Monday December 8, 2025 at 2:00pm at Byron Cemetery in Fairborn, Ohio.
