Surviving are two daughters, Elizabeth 'Liz' Meyer of Brighton, Martha Kilmer of Alton; three grandchildren, Heather Meyer, Noah Kilmer (Jen Curtiss), Shannon (Sharon) Kilmer; four great grandchildren, Keelin and Avery Kilmer, Bella and Max O'Hair.

Preceding in death were her parents; husband; five brothers, Daniel, Archie, Leroy Jr, Chester 'Chet', and Walter Snyder; and a sister, Roberta G. Smith.

Visitation will be from  11:30 a.m. until time of service 1:30 p.m. Wednesday at Marks Mortuary in Wood River.
