Ruth Snoke
May 14, 1920 — June 3, 2016
Ruth R. Snoke, 96, resident of Menno Haven, Chambersburg, departed this life on the evening of Friday, June 3, 2016.
She was born on May 14, 1920, in Newburg, a daughter of the late Arthur Andrew and Nellie Stouffer Brenize. Ruth married Walter G. Snoke on August 2, 1940, at the Otterbein United Methodist Church, Newburg. He preceded her in death on March 28, 2010.
Ruth started her career working as a Teacher’s Aide at the former Newburg Elementary School. She then went on to become the Head Cook at the Shippensburg High School, a position she held for many years until her retirement.
She was a member of the Messiah United Methodist Church, Shippensburg, and also sang in the choir. Throughout her life Ruth had many diverse interests and hobbies. She liked hunting, fishing, and crafting. Ruth loved to garden and preserved many things she grew, of course, to cook with throughout the dormant months. She really enjoyed playing cards and could also be found watching sports on television from time to time. Ruth, along with her husband Walter, was also a very extensive world traveler to places like China, Africa, and Hawaii, to name just a few.
Surviving are her three children, Charlotte A. (Gerald) Crider of Shippensburg, Leora R. (Jason) Martin of Red Lion, and Glenn W. Snoke of Carlisle; six grandchildren, Ted, T.J., Tena, Chad, Hayley, and Brittaney; six step-grandchildren; twelve great grandchildren; nine step-great grandchildren; five great great grandchildren; and three step-great great grandchildren.
In addition to her parents and husband, Ruth was preceded in death by one son, Kenneth; two brothers; and three sisters.
A celebration of her life will be held at 4:00 p.m., on Thursday, June 9, 2016, at the Messiah United Methodist Church, Shippensburg. The Rev. Dr. Francis H. Norton will officiate. Visitation will occur in the church social hall immediately following Ruth’s celebration of life service.
In lieu of flowers memorial contributions may be made to the Messiah United Methodist Church c/o: The Organ Restoration Fund at 30 South Penn St. Shippensburg, PA 17257.
