Betty Snyder

Heaven gained an angel when Betty Jo Robinson Snyder, age 90, passed away on Wednesday, July 20, 2022 surrounded by her loving family at her residence in Newton, NC.

Passmore, Dorothy R. Cochran, and Ernestine R. Gardner; and four brothers, Earl, Cecil, Howell, and Don Robinson.  Three nephews, Dickie Cochran, Johnny Phillip Robinson, and Timothy Robinson also predeceased their Aunt Betty Jo.

A skilled baker, Betty Jo also enjoyed needlework and the challenge of a difficult crossword puzzle.  In her downtime, she liked watching her favorite drama series, Law & Order.  Betty Jo was looked to as a caretaker and support system for her large extended family.  Spending time with them and making special memories was her joy.
