Obituary

Willa “Billie” (Snyder) Landsbach passed away on February 28, 2024, at Celebration Villa of Chippewa, where she had been a resident for several years.

She was born in Beaver Falls on April 19, 1933, to Royal Snyder and Mabel (Cooper) Snyder.  Billie attended Beaver Falls High School, where she played basketball, and graduated in 1951.  She was employed at many Beaver County businesses, including the Chuck Wagon restaurant, Westinghouse, and Giant Eagle.

Billie played in many bowling leagues in her younger days, had many lifelong friends and often told stories of the fun they had together.  Billie enjoyed family and was a passionate Pittsburgh sports fan.

Most importantly, she was a beautiful and ever-caring mother who always opened her arms, home, and heart to help others.  She adored children and they loved her in return.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her brother, Wayne Snyder; her sisters Sheryl Rimbey, Florence “Slim” Johnston and Juanita Kast; and her daughter, Amy Roberts.

She is survived by her daughter, Deborah Smith; her sister, Esta Weiss; six grandchildren, Jason, Nichole, Nate, Jennifer, Jaymie, and Tyler; and numerous great-grandchildren, nieces, and nephews.

To honor her remembrance, donations may be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

A private interment at Sylvania Hills Memorial Park and a Celebration of Life is planned.

The Gabauer-Lutton Funeral Home, Chippewa Twp., provided care and guidance.
