She was an executive committee member of the Strafford County Democratic party for many years.

Her other public service over the years included serving on the boards of the New Hampshire School Board Association, Your VNA and Hospice, NH Public Risk Management (Primex3), SASS (Sexual Assault Support Services), and the advisory board of Somersworth Safe Haven. She also had the bookworm's pleasure of being a Somersworth Library Trustee.

Her entire life was characterized by community service and undeterred participation in the political process. She will be remembered for her strong opinions and frankness, informed intelligence, and her wit and humor, as well as her deeply caring and committed ways. Her colleagues and constituents, her friends and family will dearly miss her.

She is survived by her two children, Glen Snyder of New Durham, and Lin Stone of Shelburne, Vt., and her four granddaughters, Ammie and Asia Snyder, and Molly and Scarlett Stone.
