Lynn M. Snyder, 74, passed away on November 30, 2023. She was born in Lancaster, PA, the daughter of the late Miriam Jane (Heart) and Thomas M. Groff.

She was the beloved wife to Joseph A. Snyder with whom she shared a life filled with love and companionship.

She was a member of the Lancaster County Cruisers Car Club, sharing her passion for automobiles with like-minded enthusiasts.

Joe and Family,
I am so sorry, I didn’t make it down today for Lynn’s service. I will miss seeing her at the car club functions. Since Mom was an only child and Dad the baby, you are like the big sis and brother, and Aunt and Uncle all rolled into one. Course when needed the foster Mom and Dad. I wish I would have had time to get to know Lynn more. Like her love for the song Amazing Grace. I know her and and my Mom are probably being introduced to each other and talking about their love of the outdoors, mountains and of course cars. My thoughts and prayers to all.

Working with Lynn always was entertaining and enjoyable. Everyone knew she would do everything possible to make sure payroll was as accurate and on time as possible. Enjoyed working with her even though I knew she wouldn’t be afraid to challenge me if she thought it was appropriate.
God Bless,
