On Saturday, March 16, 2019, Joan Eleanor Snyder Fox, loving wife and
mother, went to be with her Lord at the age of 86. Joan was born in
Rome, New York, to Steven and Cora Rieck Snyder in 1932.
She was raised among extended family with both grandparents and four
doting Rieck aunts close by. She was an honor graduate of Rome Free
Academy in 1950 and went to work for Revere Copper and Brass where
she worked until she married Jamie Fox on May 31, 1958.
The early years of their marriage involved frequent relocations. The
first few months were in New Jersey, a short time in Baltimore at the
Martin Company and then two years in Orlando, Florida, where Jamie
Martin was born in November 1960. Then the family moved to Germany
where Jamie worked on a missile system with the USAF and Juli and
Paul were born. The next move was to California where Joan worked for
the County of Orange for 20 years. Upon retirement, Jamie and Joan
made Prescott, Arizona, their home in 1992.
Joan was known for her love of family and her kind, sweet spirit. She
had a passion for nature and animals, decorating and fashion.
Joan was preceded in death by her father, Steven, and her mother,
Cora. She is survived by her husband, Jamie; their three children,
Jamie, Juli and Paul; four grandchildren, Cole, Alec, Jaycee and
Jared; sister, Marilynn and three nieces.
Celebration of Life services will be held on Saturday, March 30,
2019, at Prescott Community Church, 3151 Willow Creek Road, Prescott
at 1 p.m. If you wish to make a donation in Joan’s honor, please
