Betty Meeks Snider

Betty Meeks Snider, 82, of Bloomfield, passed away Saturday August 26, 2023 at Sanders Ridge in Mt. Washington.  She was born February 20, 1941 in Louisville, owner of Bloomfield Child Care for 38 years, and member of Wakefield Baptist Church, where she did children's time for 35 years and was known as "Mrs. Betty."

Ms. Betty believes service is very important for our youth because it teaches them lessons.  "Whether they volunteer at church or in the community, they learn what is going on around them; they see the outside world and learn how to make good choices."  Because of her dedication to our community and her commitment to all of our families, Ms. Betty Meeks Snider is a wonderful example for our students, and we have chosen to honor her as one of our house family founders.  Snider House was honored at Bloomfield Elementary School, in her name.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Frankie Meeks; second husband, Buck Snider; parents, J.T. and Sue Sparrow; and sister, Doris Hodge.

She is survived by her five children, Tammy (David) Clark of Cox's Creek, Theresa Meeks, Dee (Kristy) Meeks, Barry (Pebbles) Snider all three of Bloomfield, and Eleanor (Dave) Snider of Lexington; eight grandchildren, Wesley (Tiffanie) Clark, Ryan (Kristin) Clark, Katie (Jacob) Reed, Jesse (Clarie) Greer, Daniel Broaddus, David Broaddus, Kayla Dittert, and Kimberly (Derrick) Gribbins; eleven great-grandchildren; brother, Brother Tom (Wanda) Sparrow of Bloomfield; and several nieces and nephews.

Her funeral service will be 11:00 am Wednesday August 30, 2023 at Barlow Funeral Home, with burial in Highview Cemetery in Chaplin.  Brother Gene Hill will officiate.  Visitation will be 3 - 8 pm Tuesday and 9 - 11 am Wednesday at Barlow Funeral Home.
