Melissa Snyder Obituary
Melissa was known for her gentle spirit, infectious laughter, and unwavering kindness. She touched the lives of many through her career as the Walk Director at the Alzheimer's Association. Her dedication to the cause was evident in all aspects of her life, inspiring those around her to strive for greater compassion and understanding.
In her spare time, Melissa enjoyed trips to the beach and time spent with close friends. She cherished moments spent with her family, especially her husband, Erik Snyder, and their young children, Bradley and Ethan. Family was the cornerstone of her life, and their home was filled with joy, laughter, and love.
Melissa will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her. She leaves behind a legacy of love, compassion, and strength. She is survived by her loving husband, Erik; devoted children, Bradley and Ethan; beloved parents, Donna & Vince Taylor and Dave Albers; cherished siblings, Shelby Taylor and Ally Albers; adored nieces, nephews, in-laws, aunts, uncles, and cousins.
A celebration of Melissa's life will be held on August 6, 2024, from 10am to 12pm at Long Green Valley Station in Glen Arm, MD. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to Melissa's children's education fund by contacting the family, or to the Walk to End Alzheimer's.
Please join us in remembering and honoring Melissa Snyder, a beloved wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend whose light will continue to shine brightly in our lives.

Words cannot even begin to describe how sorry I am for the loss of those surrounded, touched by, or even once in the presence of Melissa and with the insight of others it is clear she will not be forgotten as every second of time spent with them has shown to be absolutely life changing...
My condolences, Xavior

Melissa was a jewel! She enjoyed her life and the mission that was given to her -to assist in the fight to end Alzheimer's! I knew her from the many years working with the Walk and her helping to establish an annual small community walk in a senior community. To her family, my husband and I will be praying for you all. For her beautiful children - may the memories and knowing how many lives she touched both present and, in the future, bring you comfort.
Sincerely,
Sharon Harris

Melissa´s love and pride for her children showed in them. Melissa and Bradley came to our house to hide Easter eggs for our children as part of their charity. For a child to enjoy charitable works spoke of who his mother was and what she instilled in her children. Hearing this news broke my heart. I pray for the family and especially her boys. May God bless them and keep them all the days of their lives.
