Patricia E. Snider, 83, of Brick died on Thursday, August 3.

Patricia was born to the late Dorothy and Wilbur Smith in Long Branch, where she was also raised.

She loved animals of all kinds and adopted many of them as pets, including dogs, birds, cats, and fish. Her favorite four legged friend was Rusty, a cockapoo who she spoiled to no end. Patricia also enjoyed music and especially liked to dance. She was also a great gardener, taking care of all the flowers in her yard most of her life. Most of all, Patricia loved spending time with her family. She would always have day trips planned for her family and often took her kids to parks throughout the state including Shark River Park, Allaire State Park, Turkey SwampPark, and Echo Lake. Patricia also enjoyed beach days at West End Beach.

She is predeceased by her husband Harold Snider, and her brother James Smith.

Patricia is survived by her two sons Charles E. Snider of Wrightstown, and Stanley L. Stone of Littleton, CO.
