Beverly experienced much of what the world offered as a daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother. Ms. Beverly was not one to let grass grow under her feet. Her work included the early years of volunteering at St. Luke's and St. Mikes. Work experience was - Civic Park Cleaners, A.M. Davison, Mi. Secretary of State, Blanche Bekkering Realtors, and with her son at John "Biff" Snyder Real Estate Appraisers until 2011. However, Beverly was best known as the owner of the legendary "JunkYard Bar". She purchased this on a whim in 1982 and as the Flint Journal reported in an article in 1997, the JYB was "overlooking precious metals" and was a " neighborhood bar without a neighborhood". She continued to be very active with friends/ family and was known for her love of "road trips". Surviving are children, Mike and Maureen Snyder, Mary Anne (Snyder) Tribble and Greg, and John "Biff" Snyder. Grandchildren Megan Snyder, William, Michael and Emily, Brian Chuff, Aimee Snyder and Elizabeth (Snyder) and Jeremy Boggs, Great Grandchildren, Toni and Alexis Chuff, Dominic Chuff and Tyler Wedding. She is also survived by John Snyder Sr. who through marriage/divorce remained friends.
