George was born in Hollis, Oklahoma on November 8, 1933 to Elmer George Snider and Fannie Alice Mac McWhorter Snider. He was a 70 year resident of Hutchinson County, residing in Borger, Pringle and Stinnett.

George was preceded in death by his wife of nearly 50 years, Patricia Ann Jackson Snider in January of 2008, sister Sandra Snider Cibulka of Richmond, Virginia and his parents Elmer and Mac.

George was a Christian man and loved the Lord, and was a beloved teacher at Pringle and Pringle Morse, and a buildercarpenter for several decades. He loved sports and education and supported his children, grandchildren, and other local youth in their various competitive endeavors. Once George retired, he enjoyed playing golf, where he was quite accomplished as evident by scoring a holeinone, and many times shooting under his age. He volunteered for several years at Living Waters. He also greatly enjoyed a home he and his sons built in Crestone, Colorado, where he would hike and fish, and also enjoyed visiting a variety of casinos across the country where penny slots were his game. His children would endorse his feeding the slots, joking that he would be spending the others inheritance.

George was much loved by his family and friends. He never knew a stranger and will be sadly missed by all. He was known as a very dependable and standbyhisword man.

George is survived by his sons and their families, Steve of Alameda, CA, Mark and wife Troyce of Stinnett, and Craig and Kathy of Amarillo Grandchildren, Lindsey Cramer and husband Christian, Shelly Najera and husband Richard, Elyssa Snider, Erin Snider, Adam Snider, William Snider, Margaret Snider, Jonathan Snider and wife Whitney Great grandchildren, Addison and Peyton Cramer, Anna and Olga Najera.
