On June 16, 2025, Glenda Jean Snyder, 89, was called home to be with Jesus and her departed family and friends. She was born in Valley Head, W.V. on August 2, 1935 and passed after residing at The Brian Center in Low Moor, VA for nearly a year.
She was the daughter of Earl Edward Snyder and Elva Mae Ware Snyder who preceded her in death. She was also preceded in death by her son, Andra “Andy” Lowell Sharp, her grandson, Jason Andrew Sharp, a brother, Boyd Snyder, her sisters, Pauline Snyder Rogers and Judy Snyder Townsend and her beloved dog, Fluffy. She is survived by her daughter, Lois Jean Sharp Workman (David), her son, Earl Edgar Sharp (Sandy) and her sister, Betty Snyder Barb. Also surviving her are her grandchildren, Richard Lee Hefner II, Andrea Jean Hefner Larason (Doug), Brian Earl Sharp, and Robert Lowell Sharp. She also had many great grandchildren, great-great grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and cousins.
She was also the first cousin, once removed, of the famous Grand Ole Opry star, Wilma Lee (Leary) Cooper.
Glenda worked in the garment industry for many years at Jane Colby, then Clearwater in Goshen.
Over the years she enjoyed many hobbies, such as ceramics, playing guitar, fishing, painting, making pillows, playing cards, playing the lottery, and she loved playing BINGO.
Many years ago, Glenda decided to be a donor to the WVSOM Human Gift Registry to help future doctors in their studies in the hopes they could learn something from her, to help someone else.
In honoring Glenda’s wishes, there will be a group memorial service through the WVSOM registry, which will be announced at a later date.
