Joann M. Snyder

Joann M. Snyder, 56, returned to her heavenly home on July 27, 2015 after a valiant battle with cancer. Her devotion to her family and her firm belief in God supported her and her struggle and ultimately gave her peace. Joann will lovingly be remembered by her husband, Gregg; mother, Maryann Baca; her three children, Stephen, Shauna, and Samantha; four granddaughters, Haylee, Lillian, Maycee, and Violet; her sisters, Sandra and Bernadette; and brothers, Johnnie and Frank. She was preceded in death by her father, Johnnie S. Baca. Born and raised in Albuquerque, Joann graduated from Cibola High School and was crowned the homecoming queen her senior year. Joann went to study criminal justice at the University of Albuquerque. She married the love of her life Gregg and started their beautiful family together. Joann was known for her charisma, optimism and zeal for life. She loved to snow ski, water ski, and enjoy the lake on her boat. She lived for her family and friends as nothing brought more fulfillment to her life. We will all miss her dearly.
