Born February 25, 1945, in Covington, Virginia, he was the son of the late Cyrus Frank and Mamie (Alverson) Snyder. Frank retired as a tool and die maker from General Motors where he worked for 45 years. He loved gardening and was very proud of his landscaping and yard. A very kind man with a good heart, he treasured his family. His dogs brought him much joy and were constant companions. Frank had a very open mind and enjoyed hearing other’s point of view. He was an avid reader and spent many days at the Ontario branch of the Mansfield/Richland County Public Library. He loved playing poker—sometimes well into the night—and listening to music of many genres.
Frank is survived by his wife of 43 years, Ella Null Snyder; son, Frank (Ronda Dunham) Snyder Jr.; daughter, Angela (Matt Mawhorter) Shelton; two grandchildren, Joshua Dunham and Whitney (Andrew) Armstrong; a great-granddaughter, Kennedy Armstrong; three nieces, Sherry (Bob) Solgot, Paula (John) Baker and Mamie Katsarelas and her late husband, Tony; and a nephew, Michael (Jill) Miller.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by two siblings, Linda Miller and Jack Snyder.
