Sue Evelyn Snider's Obituary
Sue Evelyn Snider was born December 5, 1927, to Erman Lebert Snider and Nannie Mae Snider.
She graduated from Texas Women’s University in 1949. Around 1954 she mentioned to the youth director at her church that she wanted to be a missionary and that summer she boarded a train to California to attend the Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary in Berkley, California. She graduated and worked for Dr. Gaines S. Dobbins who was instrumental in her decision to become a missionary in Ghana, Africa where she lived and worked for 2 years. Her missionary work was one of her greatest achievements.
After her term as a missionary ended, she returned to Texas where she was active in several Baptist churches teaching Sunday School. She devoted herself to a lifelong study of the Bible and frequently typed out her prayers to focus on her prayer time. She dedicated her life to worshiping God the Father, God the Son, Jesus Christ and let the Holy Spirit guide her path.
Later in life she decided to change careers and went to school to learn about computer technology. Sue had a satisfyingly career in the technology field. She was the IT Director at the Southern Baptist Annuity Board until she retired.
For most of her life, she had a vegetable and flower garden with an affinity for roses, irises and all blooming flowers. She was an avid reader and especially liked mysteries written with a sense of humor. Laughter was a large part of her life, and she got a kick out of Sponge Bob Square Pants cartoons.
Sue is survived by her nieces Vicki Snider, Frisco and Melinda Green, Allen; nephew Duane Snider and wife Gwen, Plano, great nephews and nieces Shaana, Joshua, Lindsey, Chad, Nicholas as well as great-great nieces and nephews.
