She was from Roanoke, Virginia, the daughter of DeMoss and Nan Foster Taylor. She was married to Laidler B. Mackall for 20 years, to Adm. Roy M. Isaman, the love of her life, for 20 years and to Adm. Edwin Snyder for ten years.
Mrs. Snyder had a wonderful smile and an engaging laugh. She was a gracious competitor as an avid golfer, a champion skeet shooter, a tournament bridge player, and a prize winning flower arranger.
Nancy was a skilled investor of penny stocks and real property.
As a lifetime learner, she mastered welding, ceramics, decoupage, gardening, and farming, raising chickens, tending bee hives, knitting, hunting, gourmet cooking, horseback riding and fishing. She loved animals and she enriched her daughters' lives with a menagerie which included ducks, chicken, snakes, possums, bats, turtles, raccoons, and, of course, cats and dogs.
Mrs. Snyder is survived by three daughters, Christie Mackall Connard of Corvalis, OR, Susan Mackall Smythe of Charleston, SC, and Bruce Mackall McConihe of Potomoma, MD; by eight grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.
On May 3, she will be interred next to her daughter, Nancy Mackall Lurton, at St. Columba Church in Washington, DC
