Susan Snider Obituary

Susan Bedell Snider
04/30/1942 - 10/14/2024
Susan was a native of Cleveland, Ohio, and eldest of seven children of Monroe and Betty Snider. Well-read and passionate about many subjects, Susan could start a conversation with anyone, anywhere. Her wide ranging interests from music and the arts to politics and sports made her the perfect "front of the house" person at the three restaurants she helped create: From Scratch in Carmel Valley, Trio Cafe and Suppers in San Francisco. Susan laughed easily and often. She was a fine and loyal friend. If she met you once, she would remember you. Amazing. We all will miss her. She leaves longtime friend and business partner, Martha Johnson; her sister and brother-in-law, Teeny and Dale Jones; and many extended family members and friends. Donations may be made to K.I.N.D Fund, 25 Maiden Lane, N.Y., N.Y. 10038, or the Cleveland Museum of Art, 11150 East Boulevard, Cleveland, OH 44106. For celebration, details email [email protected]
