Charles Snyder

Charles William Snyder, 83, of Cass, passed away Monday, December 15, 2025, at Sundale Rehabilitation and Long Term Care in Morgantown, WV.

Charles was born on April 4, 1942, to the late Kerth and Ethel Snyder of Arbovale. Out of high school, he joined the US Air Force where he learned to be an electrician.

He worked as a master electrician and later as a water plant operator for the Cass Scenic Railroad State Park.

Charles was oftentimes a quiet man but truly enjoyed talking with family and good friends. He always had a story or a little joke to tell, followed by his signature grin and wink. If he ever called you “George” you knew he cared about you. He was an avid hunter and fly fisherman and he loved to be outdoors. A somewhat jack of all trades, he was always willing to help his neighbors in need. Beneath his solemn exterior was a heart of gold.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife of 59 years, Mary Ella Snyder; and two sisters, Imogene Simmons of Fairport Harbor, Ohio and Guinevere Ratliff of Mentor, Ohio.

He is survived by his two daughters, Kyleen (Bobby) Shelton of Morgantown, WV and Martha (John) Sheehan of Grayson, Ky.; one grandson, John Charles Sheehan of Grayson, Ky.; two brothers, Doug (Connie) Snyder of Morgantown, WV; and Lewis (Regina) Snyder of Greer, SC; one sister Molly “Lorraine” Hammersley of Hay Market, Va.; one special nephew, Kenny Snyder of Green Bank, WV; friend and caregiver Janet Mallow of Green Bank, WV; and numerous nieces and nephews.

At his request, there will be no services.
