Patricia Snyder

Snyder graduated from Arkansas State University and obtained her law degree from the University of Tulsa. After retiring from practice after three decades, she spent six years with The Nature Conservancy in Florida. She moved to Independence in April of 2021 because it was her ancestral home, and with several generations of her family born and raised here, she has a deep connection to the area.
