Emma F. Snyder, 97, of Elizabethtown, formerly of Mount Joy, entered into rest on Friday November 26, 2021 at Masonic Village Health Care Center, Elizabethtown, PA.  Born in Mount Joy Twp., she was the daughter of the late J. Clayton and Mamie Frey Tyson.

A 1942 graduate of the former Elizabethtown High School, Emma was an active and faithful member of Mount Joy Church of God.  Prior to retiring, she was employed for 22 years in the Finishing Department at Donegal Industries in Mount Joy, Pa.  Previously, she was employed as a server by the former Hostetter's Banquet Hall in Mount Joy, and their successor, The Gathering Place.

She is survived by four children, James W., husband of Marilyn Nosal Snyder, of Millheim, Pa, Gwendolyn T. Snyder of Lititz, Donald L.

Snyder; a grandson, Dustin B. Snyder; and five siblings, Jacob Tyson, Minnie Mummau, Martha Machuski, and an infant brother and sister.

In keeping with Emma’s wishes there will be no formal service.  Burial at Rissers Mennonite Cemetery will be private at the convenience of the family.
