Dolores J. Snyder
September 20, 1931 - June 7, 2021
Dolores “Dee” J. Snyder, 89, of Lakewood, Ohio passed away on June 7, 2021. She was born on September 20, 1931 to the late Frank and Mari (nee Janic) Kocian. Dee was a dedicated employee for Higbee’s and Dillard’s for over thirty years. As the youngest of the Kocian sisters, she shared a similar knack with her siblings in the kitchen; they were truly amazing cooks! She will be fondly remembered as having an obsession for looking out windows which needed to be “clean and sparkling.” Dee touched many lives over the years, and she will be recalled in memory by her affectionate nicknames such as, “Mrs. Dillard’s,” “Doodi,” and “Aunt Dolores.” She will be deeply missed by all who loved her best. Besides her parents, Dee is preceded in death by her siblings Steven Kocian, Frank (Marge) Kocian, Rose (Bill) Sedlak, Mary (Frank) Blumenstock, Agnes (Joe) Fidnarik, Helen (Tom) Mogan, Ann (Jeff) Jefffers, Margaret (Joe) Butera, and dear grandson Eric. Dee is survived by her loving children Karen (Jay) Reid and Stephen Snyder; treasured grandchildren Lauren (Tyson) Brown, Allyssa Snyder, and Alex Reid; cherished great grandchildren Nash, Penelope, and Eliot; and many dear nieces, nephews, and friends. Visitation will be held on Monday, June 14, 2021 from 5-8 PM at Sunset Chapel, 6245 Columbia Road, North Olmsted, Ohio 44070. Funeral services will be held on Tuesday, June 15, 2021 at 12 Noon. Burial will follow at Sunset Memorial Park. In lieu of flowers, please make charitable contributions to St. Jude’s Children Research Hospital, st.jude.org/donate
