A vivacious spirit, Melissa was known for her love of music and always kept the surroundings vibrant while cleaning.

Honesty was her virtue, and her heart was one of the biggest in the universe. Anyone fortunate enough to be loved by her considered themselves the luckiest individuals, for she radiated warmth and love like the sun, even during moments of solitude.
Melissa leaves behind a profound void in the hearts of those who cherished her. She is survived by her beloved son, DeAndre M. Snyder, and her sisters, Sarah Snyder and Kathleen R. Snyder (Mataugh), as well as her brother, Nathaniel Snyder. She also leaves behind numerous other siblings, nieces (Aniyah, Zahrie, Emirah), and a nephew (Isaiah), along with a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, and additional nieces and nephews, all of whom she loved dearly.
