She was a member of the Black River Holiness Church, Jamaica for years, where she served faithfully in various capacities including leadership in the Women’s group, and she was also a member of The New Testament Church of God, Mt. Vernon, New York. For the last 20 years, she attended Lakeholm Church of the Nazarene, in Mt. Vernon, OH, where she enjoyed the church fellowship as well as the interactions with her Agape Sunday School Class. She demonstrated fervent worship, and believed in the power of prayer, which sustained her through various illnesses over the years..............................To read more go to: www.snyderfuneralhomes.com.
