Our mother Alice Loraleen Snyder, age 88, went home to be with the Lord on February 18, 2026. Our mother was born on September 24, 1937, at home in the Indian Valley area of Floyd County to Edna Bethany Duncan Marshall and William Clydis Marshall.

She is preceded in death by husbands, J. B. Goad of Willis, Va., James Harvey Herron of Roanoke, Va., and William T. "Bill" Snyder, of Elliston, Va., as well as five brothers and three sisters.
