Obituary for Mary Ellen Lambert Snyder

Mary Ellen Lambert  Snyder
Mary Ellen Lambert Snyder passed away at her home in Zachary on August​ ​15th. While she was a resident of Zachary, Mary Ellen's heart always remained​ ​in New Orleans where she was born on November 24, 1939. Being part of the​ ​Krewe of Cleopatra, serving on the court in 2013, and starting high school​ ​at Dominican High School were a few of her cherished New Orleans experiences.​ ​The importance of family was a constant in Mary Ellen's life which was​ ​witnessed through the many birthday and Christmas cards and "goody bags" relatives received from Mary Ellen over the years. She was a member of St. John the Baptist Catholic Church where she served on a variety of committees including the bereavement committee. Her faith​ ​sustained her through the three years she battled cancer. During her illness​ ​she continued to be a loving wife, a devoted mother, grandmother, and great​ ​grandmother, as well as a dear sister.​ ​Mary Ellen is survived by her husband, Jimmy Snyder, her children, Ellen Dunaway (Mark) and Christopher​ ​Drago, her grandchildren, Laura Bell and​ ​​Steven Dunaway, her great grandchildren, Catherine Dean, Elizabeth Dean, Madison Bell, Slade Dunaway and Cade Dunaway, and her sisters​ ​Susanne​ ​Lewis (Billy) and Sally Parden (Donald) and her brother Arthur Lambert (Jackie). Mary Ellen was preceded in death by her parents Arthur and Mary Lambert,​ ​as well as her grandson, Jonathan Scott Brashier.​ ​A mass of Christian burial will be held at St John the Baptist Catholic​ ​Church at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, August 18th, with burial at Azalea Rest Cemetery immediately following the service​​. In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to St. Jude Children's Hospital in memory of Jonathan Scott Brashier.
