Solveig Snyder of Brunswick, Ohio, a nurse and mother who loved her family and Jesus, died peacefully Thursday, July 7, 2022, surrounded by her family. She was 91.

She was born on Dec. 7, 1930, to the late Ivar and Elna (née Tornquist) Wennerstrom in Pargas, Finland.

She lived in Altamont for 54 years before relocating to the Carolina Shores, North Carolina. In April 2022, she moved to Brunswick, Ohio to be closer to family.

“Solveig loved her family and Jesus, serving as a volunteer at the King of Glory Lutheran Church in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina,” her family wrote in a tribute. “She worked as a registered nurse before having her three children and for a time after they were grown.

“Solveig was an avid quilter and was never afraid to tackle a job to improve her home or someone else’s. She loved to entertain guests, and to play indoor and outdoor games including mahjong, dominos, and card games.

“Solveig will be deeply missed.”
