RONDAL SNYDER
Rondal Snyder, 83, of Liberty passed away on November 2, 2020, after several months at the Whitewater Commons nursing home.
Rondal was born on January 2, 1937, in Connersville. He was the son of Ralph and Mary Snyder and had two sisters, Sallee Roach and Karen Plyley. Rondal married the love of his life, Jean (Richmond) Snyder, after proposing first when they met in Kindergarten. It took Jean a few years to eventually say “Yes,” and on October 4, 1955, somewhere in Kentucky, they eloped to get married.
Rondal and Jean had four children: Mike, Mitchel (died shortly after birth), Malcolm and Brad.
Rondal was also loved and will be missed by his grandchildren: Mallary (Snyder) Meriwether, Katlin (Snyder) Davis, Alexandria Snyder, Danielle Snyder, Andrew Snyder, Mitch Snyder, Matt Snyder. And a Great Granddaughter, Anna Claire Davis.
Rondal enjoyed spending time at local auctions, collecting coins and fixing up antique furniture. He enjoyed the time he and Jean spent fixing up their “Mini” Farm, affectionately called the Summer Palace, on Salem Road. He had collected a few old cars, one being his Model A. But we truly believed his favorite pastime was spending time with Jean in Florida, at the Mini farm or even at McDonalds in Oxford.
Rondal initially was a painter with his father Ralph and then began a career in sales with Fuller Brush and then with Federated Insurance for 20 years. Rondal also served as the Union County Probation officer for 10 years.
Rondal was preceded in death by his parents: Ralph and Mary Snyder; sister: Karen; son: Mitchel Snyder. As Rondal requested, there will be no Funeral or Calling but will have a graveside service at the Westpoint Cemetery in Liberty on Saturday, November 7, at 10 a.m.
