On Friday, November 1, 2019, our loving mother, Ruth Snider Holt, 93, Lebanon, passed away
peacefully at her home surrounded by her family.

Ruth was born on April 24, 1926, in Nelson County and moved to Lebanon in 1951. She
worked as secretary of Lebanon Elementary School for 25 years. She faithfully attended
Lebanon Baptist Church for 68 years, where she actively served in the Joy Club, Valerie Clark
Mission Circle, and Sunshine Sunday School Class. She also volunteered at Spring View
Hospital, and the Governor of Kentucky awarded her the honor of Kentucky Colonel for her
community service.

She loved God and her family and found great joy in spending time with loved ones, her
volunteer activities, and tending her bird feeders and flower garden. She exemplified the
golden rule, and all who knew her were touched by her sweetness and grace.

She was preceded in death by parents Emma and Walter Snider; sister Emogene Royalty;
brothers Walter Snider, Jr. and Payton Snider; daughter in-law Diane Mudd Holt; and infant son
Howard Wayne Holt.

Lebanon; and five sons, Harold Holt, Gary Holt, and Spencer Holt (Corinne)—all of Louisville—
Mike Holt (Angela) of Lebanon and Alan Holt (Jeff Sullivan) of Fort Lauderdale, FL. She is also
survived by eleven grandchildren, eleven great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.
