Obituary for Patricia P. Snyder (McGrath)
Wynantskill – Patricia P. Snyder, 75, passed away at Samaritan Hospital on Thursday afternoon, April 27, 2023 with her loving family by her side. Born in Troy on January 18, 1948, she was the daughter of the late Thomas and Beverly (Page) McGrath.
Patricia grew up in Troy and was a 1967 graduate of Troy High where she was a proud member of the Skyliner Drum and Bugle Corps. She held several jobs throughout her career, working at multiple state agencies and as a teacher’s aide at Watervliet Elementary School.

She enjoyed every single family gathering, picnic, and vacation with her loved ones. In her free time, Patricia loved preparing her famous sauce and meatballs, playing card and dice games, watching the Harry Potter movies, and cheering on her NY Yankees and NY Giants.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Mark Snyder, Sr., who passed in 2014, and her grandson, Tyler McIntyre.
