Wendy Carol Snider

Wendy Carol Snider, of San Angelo, passed away on September 5, 2023, at the age of 52. She was born on January 8, 1971, in Brownsville, Texas, to loving parents Daniel D. and Londa (Etheredge) Snider. Wendy was always a happy child, always smiling, and easily made friends. She developed JRA (Juvenal Rheumatoid Arthritis) at the age of four. It is a crippling disease, but Wendy never let it get her down, clear up to the end.

Wendy was never married but concentrated her life on helping school children, and especially her one niece and two nephews. She graduated from Schreiners University in Kerrville, Texas. She also taught third grade at a private school in Popular Bluff, Missouri. Wendy was also on the swim team at Shriners and especially enjoyed the exercise which was good for her. She also enjoyed being in Rainbows. There was a great deal of memorizing to being in Rainbows, but Wendy worked hard at it finally attaining the position of Worthy Advisor, the highest one can attain in Rainbows. Wendy also taught school at Del Rio, Texas before retiring from teaching. After teaching Wendy worked as a front door secretary at a local bank, also in Missouri. But her greatest triumph was in helping to raise her sister’s three children Gabrielle Wendy Collum, Ethan Mathew Collum and Grayson Daniel Collum so that their mother could work nights as a Respiratory Therapist. All three children adored Wendy as a teacher, a mother, and would do anything for her. She will be missed by all her family and especially her little dog Blizzard, who was given to Wendy by Holly and the three children seven years ago.

Wendy is survived by both parents; Daniel D and Londa Etheredge, and by a sister Holl Suzanne Collum. An uncle George and Aunt Nancy by her mother’s side of the family, and a uncle Jon and Aunt Elisabeth on her father’s side.

Wendy is proceeded in death by an older brother, Mathew Lacy Snider, and loving grandparents Mr. and Mrs. George O. Etheredge.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, September 16, 2023 at 11:00 AM at Harper Funeral Home.
