Anita Snyder-Martinez Obituary

This is an invitation to celebrate Anita's life and to remember her as she Lived. We, who had the good fortune to be blessed with the opportunity of interacting with Anita, knew that she was an "incredible" woman because she was in the profession of her choice. She had the ability to not only care for her employees, but their families. She was a guardian angel to the people she knew personally as well as those who benefitted from her kind giving heart. Anita loved to garden and share her dog, Feather, with the neighborhood. she delighted in spending time at her cabin in Cuchara Valley. Her zest for life was a gft to all who knew her. Anita was adopted by the Martinez Tribe. She was welcomed with open arms and hearts by William and Lala Martinez as a daughter, their children Anita, Bill, Scott and their extended families as a sister and an aunt and Desiree, Angelina, and Natalia as a mother and a grandmother. She warmed our spirits. Her unconditional love will remain in our hearts for generations. Anitas has a daughter from her prior marriage, Kristi Snyder. A brother, Mitchell Taylor & a God send of a cousin, Sue Hale. Condolence goes out to you in this difficult time. I Love and Appreciate You! Thanks you for loving me and for putting up with me.
