Edith (Eadie) Bresson Snyder’s life journey ended on June 5, 2025 at the age of 98 in her apartment at Wayne Manor in Wooster. Eadie was born to Benjamin and Grace McComas on July 19, 1926 in Pennsville, Ohio. She graduated from Wooster High School, went to Beauty College in Cleveland, and became a beautician, a career she enjoyed for over 50 years. She was married to Clarence (Bud) Bresson until his passing in 1976. They had 5 children. Barbara (Roger) Buchholz, Linda (Rick) Catrone, Mindy (Stuart) Starr, all of Wooster. Larry (Barb) Bresson, of Lakeville and Becky (Tim) Polley, of Bellevue, Ohio.
Eadie married Bill Snyder, now deceased, in 1984. They moved to Florida and built the home they shared there for 30 years. Eadie loved her time in Florida, golfing, fishing, feeding the birds, hosting family and friends from the north, playing cards and sharing an occasional glass of wine. Her greatest joy was spending time with family. Being with all her grandkids at the camper, sporting events, plays, concerts, and watching them grow and start families of their own brought her so much joy. Her zest for life, positive attitude, infectious smile, sense of humor and fearless nature always kept life interesting. Eadie was the matriarch of her loving family and she will be missed terribly.
Eadie is survived by her children, and Bill’s children, whom she loved dearly, Jill (Louis) Lucas, and Jeff (Julie) Snyder. She is also survived by 13 grandchildren and 27 great grandchildren, 5 step-grandchildren, and 7 step-grandchildren. Preceding her in death were her husbands, 1 step-grandson, and 2 great grandchildren.
The family would like to thank the staff at Wayne Manor for their loving care. You cared for her like family when family couldn’t be there.

Linda, Mindy and rest of family, I am so sorry for your loss. She led a great life and all of you should have many good memories.
Barb and family. So sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. Fondly remember both her and your father at Hillcrest years ago. Couple class folks
Dearest Bressons et al….so sorry to hear about Eadie’s passing. She will always be remembered by me as the parent who always gave me a positive feedback when I taught at Triway. I knew I could go to her with anything. She was one special lady in my book. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
We want you to know how much we loved Aunt Eadie, and we send our sympathy to all of you. We will always cherish the many memories we have because she was very special.
Love,
Gary and Nancy Musselman
I am so sorry for your loss, Larry & family. May memories bring you comfort and peace.
Barb and family There is no easy way to say good-bye to someone who has been such and amazing force in your lives. Your mom was so special. There was always room for one more at the table or a shoulder to cry on when you thought that no one really cared. She loved to laugh not only at our stupid jokes but herself as well. She never yelled when we sent her golf balls sailing over the building at the back of your house. There will never be a day that you won’t think “I should tell/ask/show Mom this.” She will always live in your hearts. Thank you for sharing her with so many of us.
May the abundant loving memories of Eadie be a blessing to all.
Eddie was a good friend of my mom adaline switzer. I remember her coming to our house and giving me a pixie cut. I loved Eddie but hated that pixie cut so very sorry for your loss
Sending you love and comfort from Wyoming!
XOXOXO

Barb and family – So sorry about your Mom’s passing. We did not know her personally but know the two of you were very close and she was a big part of your daily life. She will be sorely missed, but know she has moved on to a better place.
What a beautiful lady, Eadie. Always so kind and genuine, you will be so missed. Thank you for being such a sweet stepmom and grandmother. We love you always. Hope you and Dad are dancing and toasting to being together again. Love you, Jill and family
I came and sang at Wayne Manor every month. Eadie always enjoyed the music. She would clap and dance in her chair. She was a real joy and blessing to me. Rest in Peace Sweet Eadie.
I will always remember her smile and laugh….. what a wonderful woman she was. God Bless you Barb and Roger and family. ( we couldn’t make the service but our family has been thinking about you all ) 💗
