Kindness is a word that cannot be overused when describing Aunt Ellen. You truly were an example of Christ’s love. Thank you for all the old holiday memories, times spent together and laughter shared around the dining room table. I know you’re with the girls in heaven, but for now, I miss you. You were and are loved.

Oh so many memories of the lovely woman I always referred to as my second mom. I loved coming over to the house knowing I would be getting a made from scratch meal that always tasted wonderful. I always felt treated like family, not like a guest.  I even remember being "disciplined" for dumping clothes on the floor. That's when I knew I was family and felt loved.  "Mom" made me feel special and encouraged me to be myself and supported me to pursue what I wanted to do in life, regardless of what anyone else thought. I have been truly blessed to have known Mrs. Snyder aka "mom."

Ellen was a petite woman with a huge heart for family and friends. She loved with a Christ like desire to make you feel welcome in her home and fed with her amazing meals and desserts. I met her later in life, marrying into her grandsons life and she would sit with me when I visited and love on our children (her great grandchildren). Watching her face light up with joy as they smiled and wiggled. She was kind and strong I am blessed to have spent some time with her before she joined the Lord. Until we meet again Ellen, we love you!

She had such love for all of her grandchildren and great grandchildren and was a wonderful mother in every sense.   She baked the best pies and cookies and was a tremendous cook all around.   She had a beautiful soul and I aspire to be just like her.  I love you Grandma and miss you terribly.
