Sandra L. Sandy Snyder

Sep 3, 1943 - Aug 15, 2022

Norwalk

Sandra "Sandy" Snyder, loving wife and mother of three children, passed away unexpectedly Monday, Aug. 15, 2022, weeks before her 79th birthday.

Sandy was born Sept. 3, 1943, in Norwalk, to Henry (Hank) and Wanda (Witter) Kaltenbach. Sandy grew up in Norwalk until moving to Fitchville and attended New London schools starting in the seventh grade, where she met the love of her life, Robert (Rob) Snyder. Rob and Sandy went steady all throughout high school and were married Sept. 1, 1962. Sandy attended Bowling Green State University before moving to Cincinnati in 1962 with Rob while he finished his degree at University of Cincinnati, where she worked at Conservatory of Music.

She was a devoted military wife as she supported Rob as he performed his duties in the Navy for 26 years. This gave them the opportunity to live in several places, but the place she loved most of all was their home in Kentford, England. Rob and Sandy moved back to the States in 1972, eventually moving to New London in 1979, where they raised their three children. Sandy taught preschool out of their home from 1980-1985, and then began working at the New London Library in 1989 for 20 years, before retiring in 2009. Through her children, Sandy was involved with Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts. She was an avid reader and scrapbooker and was a member of Norwalk Red Hat Delights. Above all, she will be remembered as always thinking about others and being concerned for her close friends and family.

Left to cherish her memory is her devoted husband of nearly 60 years; children, Erinn (John) Starcher, Steven (Becky) Snyder, and Dana (Mike) Fries; grandchildren, Brandon Fries, Reagan Starcher, Brooke Fries, Collin Snyder, and Sophie Snyder; siblings, William (Natalie) Kaltenbach, Michael (Rebecca) Kaltenbach, and Daniel (Jenny) Kaltenbach; and nieces and nephews.

Sandy was preceded in death by her parents, Henry and Wanda; grandparents, Roy and Katie Witter and Karl and Charlotte Kaltenbach; and parents-in-law, Norris and Martha Snyder.

A celebration of life gathering will be 6-8 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 18, 2022, at Evans Funeral Home, 314 E. Main St., Norwalk, Ohio, 44857.

In lieu of flowers, her family asks that donations be made in Sandy's honor to New London Historical Society, 13 E. Main St., New London, Ohio, 44851, or Back to the Wild, 4504 Bardshar Rd., Castalia, Ohio, 44824.
