Lillie "Peggy" See Snyder Obituary (1932 - 2024)

Lillie "Peggy" See Snyder, 91, a former resident of Singers Glen, passed away on Sunday, January 21, 2024 at VMRC's Burkholder House. Peggy was born on December 23, 1932 near Bass, on South Fork in Hardy County, West Virginia and was a daughter of the late Simon William and Mary May See. Peggy worked tirelessly alongside Bud to raise seven children while scraping out a living on the farm. In the early 70's, they purchased land near Singers Glen and built two poultry houses to add to their cattle herd. While Bud worked constructing farm buildings, she kept the poultry farm operation going while completing her housework as well. She dearly loved this place and her faith in God kept her going, working long hours each day. She could often be seen on her 4-wheeler checking on the chickens and cows with her precious border collie, Katie, on the back. She always had a large garden and found a way to preserve her bounty. Her family could always find fresh baked cookies in a jar on her kitchen counter along with other snacks. Each holiday and family gathering, she prepared at least a dozen pies which she shared with not only her family, but her neighbors as well. She was a member of Donovan Memorial United Methodist Church and past member of Fairview Church of the Brethren at Endless Caverns, both of which she attended regularly. Maw's strong faith in God, assures that she is reunited with her husband Bud in Heaven. On November 6, 1948, she married Loyd "Bud" Evers Snyder who passed away on July 3, 2010.
