Pringle Elizabeth Snyder

Pringle Elizabeth Snyder passed away peacefully in her sleep on Thursday morning at the High Ridge House Christian Science Nursing Home in Riverdale, N.Y., surrounded by her loving family and friends. She was the wife of the late George H. Snyder, to whom she had been happily married for 50 years.

Born in Peckville, daughter of the late Jack M. Crispin and Pringle Mackie Chisholm and sister of the late John M. Crispin Jr., she was a graduate of Clarks Summit/Abington High School and went on to attend the Principia College in St. Louis, Mo. She worked at her family's ladies apparel store in Olyphant, before succeeding her mother as owner and operator of Pringle's Ladies Shop on State Street in Clarks Summit, for many years, before retiring. During her early college years, she met her future husband at the Scranton Municipal Airport in Schultzville, where she was taking flying lessons and enjoying a love of aviation passed down from her mother, uncle and cousin. She married at the family home in Clarks Summit and built a beautiful home with her late husband, adjacent to the Scranton Country Club. Her long standing interest in art and music led her to participate in several local artist organizations and chorale groups, where she shared her talents and enthusiasm. Her deep devotion to Christian Science was manifested by her many leadership positions in the First Church of Christ Scientists of Scranton.

She is survived by her three children, George H. Snyder Jr., McLean, Va.; Cherie Snyder Heard, Gulf Breeze, Fla.; and Wayne M. Snyder, Clarks Summit; two grandchildren, Eric M. Snyder, Vista, Calif.; and Stacia Heard, Gulf Breeze, Fla.; as well as the many warm and wonderful people whose lives she had touched.

The funeral will be held on Tuesday at 10 a.m. from the Lawrence E. Young Funeral Home, 418 S. State St., Clarks Summit. Interment will follow at the Prospect Hills Cemetery in Peckville. Friends may call on Monday, from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m. at the funeral home.
