| Wickenburg Sun (Wickenburg, Arizona) Wednesday, October 29, 2025, p. A-4 Marguerite Snyder passed away peacefully at her daughter's home in Monroe, Wis., on Oct. 2, 2025. She was born on Nov. 20, 1936, in Grand Rapids, Mich., to Joseph and Theo Schoen. As a young girl, Marguerite and her mother moved to Wickenburg, seeking relief from her childhood asthma. She graduated from Wickenburg High School in 1955 alongside her classmate and future husband, Gill Snyder. The following year, Marguerite and Gill married and began a lifelong partnership filled with hard work, family and love. Together, they raised their children, expanded the Snyder Family's moving and storage business and built a horse ranch outside Morristown, Ariz.--a place that became the heart of their lives. Marguerite was a woman of many talents and interests. She enjoyed sewing, ceramics, and knitting and she was known for her skill in the kitchen, much to Gill's delight. Her creativity and warmth touched every part of her home and family life. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Gill Snyder; her mother, Theo Knoll; her stepfather, Harry Knoll; and her cousin, Glenn Gill. Marguerite is survived by her son, Philip Snyder of Yarnell, Ariz.; her daughter, Chris (Kevin) Wells of Monroe, Wis.; grandchildren, Logan (Kristina) Wells of Gleason, Wis., and Corey Wells of Oconomowoc, Wis.; and great-granddaughter, Sofia Wells. She is also remembered with love by her nieces, Lara (Dave) Ketterman of Chandler, Ariz., and Dee Dee Ciprari of Manhattan Beach, Calif.; cousins, Sandee Gill, Tiffany (Ray) Schuck, Tracy (Steve) Romero of Wickenburg and Clay (Christina) Gill of Morristown, along with their families. After Gill's passing, Marguerite's greatest wish was to remain on the ranch they had built together. Her family is deeply grateful to Inez Saenz and Jose Balderama, who devoted more than 20 years to helping her live where she was happiest. The family also extends heartfelt thanks to the many friends and relatives who visited, supported,and cared for her over the years. Marguerite was deeply loved and will be dearly missed. A family memorial service will be held at a later date. |
