She was devoted to her temple community, a lover of animals and her beloved pets, and enjoyed catching up with friends and family on the weekends and during the holidays. All that knew her will always remember her intrepid spirit, quick wit, and love of laughter. Ana is survived by her father and his wife, John and Anne Snyder; brother and sister-in-law Jason and Cheri Snyder; brother and sister-in-law Robin and Diana Snyder; nephews Andrew, John, and Joey Snyder; aunt Bonnie Johnson; cousin and wife, Kurt and Barb Johnson, cousin and wife, Tom and Barb Johnson; and numerous extended family members and devoted friends who loved her and will miss her dearly.
