Shirley Snyder Obituary

In Remembrance From Me. Shirley L.(Shalberg) Snyder March 6, 1937-April 9, 2004. There is no time like the old time, when you and I were young; when the buds of April blossomed and the birds of springtime sung! There is no love like the old love that we courted in our pride; though our leaves are falling, falling and we're fading side by side. There are blossoms all around us with the colors of our dawn and we live in borrowed sunshine when the day-star is withdrawn. There are no times like the old times, they shall never be forgot! There is no place like the old place; keep green the dear old spot. There are no friends like our old friends; may Heaven prolong their lives. There are no loves like our old loves; God bless our loving wives. "Oliver Wendell Homes" I think of you every day. I love you and miss you so. You are forever on my mind. Donald R. (Donnie) Snyder

Don what a moving tribute to Shirley. The Oliver Wendell Homes words were wonderful.

Mrs. Snyder was the best gym teacher in the world! I graduated from Wasson in 1972, and Shirley Snyder is one of my favorite memories--and I wasn't even a gymnast. Far from it, in fact--"PE challenged" might be a good way to describe me. But Mrs. Snyder was always there for ALL students. For years after graduation, I worked at King Soopers, and Mrs. Snyder (and many other teachers) regularly came through my line. It was always lovely to see her. Today, I am also a teacher (not a gym teacher though!) and I honestly do model my relationships with my students after the relationships that Mrs. Snyder had with hers. She was compassionate and funny and had a big, big heart. The day I read her obituary was a sad day for me.
