On Saturday April 23, 2022 at 10:15 a.m. Rebecca Snider age 55 passed away surrounded by her husband and her children Rebecca is a beloved wife, mother and friend. Rebecca will be joining her brother Bobby Adams and her grandmother Eva Louise Prince in heaven. She was survived by her husband Dean Snider, her mother and father Ina Faye Edwards and Gerald Edwards, her brothers Rick Adams and Tim Edwards, her son Dustin Wolgamott, her daughter Shayna Silva and lastly her grandson Jax Brison. Rebecca was born June 22nd 1966, to Gerald and Ina Faye Edwards in Grain Valley Missouri. Rebecca always had a passion for real estate. At nineteen she became an apartment manager. Becoming an apartment manager helped her thrive in being a multi-unit property owner later in life. When Rebecca was in her young twenties, she was briefly married to David Wolgamott with whom she had her first child Dustin. Rebecca resided in Missouri from birth till she was a young adult. In 1992 while in her mid-twenties she met Dean Snider in Las Vegas, Nevada. Rebecca and Dean instantly connected. They welcomed their baby daughter Shayna in December of 1993. Rebecca and Dean married by March 9th 1994. In 1996 her and her husband Dean started buying rental properties and became multi-unit property owners. Rebecca spent the last 26 years being a landlord with her husband in the Independence Missouri area. Rebecca loved spending her free time at home with her husband, seeing her children, spending time with her friends, and she loved her cats. The spring and early summer was always her favorite time of year and more than likely would be outside potting flowers for her backyard like she did every year. She had a love for the ocean and outdoors. Rebecca was a very strong willed, independent woman. She was funny and beautiful and always kept you on your toes. Rebecca will be greatly missed. I know she is with us, watching us and smiling down at all the beautiful memories she shared with everyone. In closing I would like to thank the hospice staff for all their wonderful nurses and aides who helped us during this very hard time in our lives. We are respecting Rebecca’s wishes and she did not want a funeral service. Her daughter will be putting together a remembrance of life for her and will have the details out to close family and friends once more planning has been done.

26 Apr 2022I can’t believe she is gone. When I first met Rebecca she made me feel like I had been her friend for years. That”s the kind hearted gal she was. I will miss shopping, going out to lunch or just sitting around talking. I will miss her every day.

28 Apr 2022This breaks my heart. Rebecca has always been one of the most uplifting people I know. The last time I heard from her, I didn’t even realize she was ill, and everything happened so fast. But, I’m so happy she had her family around her when she passed. The one thing I always remember is all the stories I would hear from her about her family. I will keep saying prayers Dean, Faye, and her entire family.

2 May 2022My mother in-law was a great woman. She treated me with nothing but love from day one of meeting her. I’m happy she was able to see her daughter get married to me. I’ll always miss her presence. She effected my life in a positive way, welcomed me into her family with open arms. I usually don’t cry for people, but I cried for this angel of a woman. Thank you for coming into my life and seeing things from my POV. I love you my bonus mom✌️

3 May 2022Momma Rebecca… I could say a million great things. I have stories for days. I stayed at Dean and Rebecca’s house almost as many weekends as I spent at my own house growing up. Dean almost built me a bedroom when they did their home addition. Rebecca always made my favorite for dinner because she knew I was picky. She made mac and cheese and brownies! She was always around to talk to and give good life advice. I’ll miss her very much!

3 May 2022Rebecca was one of the best people I knew. She loved her family, her kids especially. She was the kind of person that if it had been months since you talked, when we would talk again it was like it was just yesterday. I loved that about her. I will miss you Bec.

5 May 2022Before I even met Rebecca she cared about me. She showed me nothing short of unconditional love. I could talk to her about absolutely anything and she would give the best advise or simply be a shoulder to cry on, cheering me on along the way all these years. She loved me and my son like we were her own and I will always cherish the moments we all got to spend together. We will forever keep the last gift you gave to us near and dear. I see her in everything, and her love will be me forever. ❤️

5 May 2022Rebecca was a loving woman and an amazing source of wisdom, strength and clarity during troubled times. She imparted immense amounts of love and wisdom into my life. I have fond memories of her as a child. This happened too fast and too soon.
Rebecca will be missed and loved by everyone who knew her.

6 May 2022I called her Bec. She only allowed the closest people to her to call her Bec, or Becky. Everyone else it had to be Rebecca. I met her in 7th grade; its not only 42 years of being best friends because she was also my sister and sometimes my mother, lol. We could live 1000’s of miles apart and when we got together it would be like no time had passed. She was so funny, loved to laugh and tell stories. I will miss her stories! She loved her family/children dearly, she loved to listen to music, care for animals, baseball and gardening. She was honest, dependable, really smart, beautiful and loving person. I am proud of her accomplishments in this life journey of hers and hope she is proud for completing her mission. I know she is part of my soul family and we will be together forever. Bec, I will miss you dearly my friend, until we meet again. Please come in and say hi once awhile.😇

9 May 2022I am still in shock of all of this. Rebecca was a mother to every person that walked threw her door. She made sure you were safe, warm, and fed with no questions asked until you were ready. Shayna and I both had a happy childhood but we saw this happen with so many of our friends. I know Dustin did too. Rebecca was a hero to many. She fought so many battles in her life and never once complained. She will always be one of the toughest women I will ever meet. I love you mama and I hope you are resting easy with Angus and all your other kitties.
