Adele Elizabeth Snyder
March 26, 1930 – Dec. 26, 2016

Adele passed away peacefully at Kingston General Hospital Monday Dec. 26, 2016. Adele (née Greer) grew up in Quebec’s Eastern Townships. She obtained a degree in home economics from McDonald College. She married Harold Snyder (1926 – 2007) from Shawinigan in 1953. They lived in Toronto, Montreal and St. John’s, eventually retiring to Stanstead, Que., and then settling in Kingston. Adele was a wonderful mother and she approached life with a great sense of adventure and humour — especially where Polynya (the sailboat) was concerned. She worked as a schoolteacher and was an active community volunteer.

Fond memories of Adele’s laughter and hugs will be forever in the memory of her five children — Greg, Joyce, Margot, Christine and Dick — and her 11 grandchildren and great grandchild. She leaves her sister Dorothy Flitton and brother Alan Greer; she was predeceased by brother Ron Greer. According to Adele’s wishes, there will be no service. Family and friends will gather in Stanstead for remembrance this summer.
