Donna Regina Snyder, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and friend, departed this world on December 18, 2023, at the age of 85. Born on April 19, 1938, in Chicago, Illinois, to Lester and Mary Ann Spader, Donna's life was a tapestry woven with the threads of love, adventure, and family.
Donna's adventures took off when she met the love of her life, Paul Snyder, with whom she forged a beautiful partnership and traveled the country with. Their journey took her across the expanse of the country, residing in various states. Although her adventures carried her to different corners of the nation, Donna held a special place in her heart for Arizona, fondly calling the desert her "home." After traversing the map, she eventually found a settled haven with her family in Gahanna, Ohio.
An enthusiast of life's simple pleasures, Donna had an affection for margaritas, a penchant for old westerns, and an unwavering devotion to family. Her daughter Michelle (Aaron) Butler survives her, along with several cherished grandchildren, including Coryn, A.J., Paul, and Revae, as well as several long-lost family members. Donna is preceded in death by her parents and her beloved husband, Paul.
In her final days, Donna continued to radiate the same zest for life that defined her. Though she will be dearly missed, her memory will endure through the love she showered upon her family. In lieu of a traditional service and flowers, the family kindly requests donations to facilitate the transportation of Donna's ashes to her husband's resting place in Tucson, Arizona.
May Donna rest in eternal peace, her spirit forever linked to the vast landscapes she traversed and the love she shared with those fortunate enough to be part of her journey.
