    Hall of Fame - Waterloo Region
    • Beatrice Miller Snyder was born in Wilmot Township and spent most of her life there.

      She became adept at feeding large numbers of people when, as a young housewife, she was required to feed employees of her husband's transport business. Because of this expertise, she was often called on to supervise meal preparation for large groups of people at annual church conferences and other meetings.

      In addition, she published a booklet of recipes and guidelines for the preparation of large scale meals and a book Pennsylvania German Customs and Cookery.

      She served on many boards and committees, including the Waterloo Regional Folk Arts Council and Festival, the Waterloo Farm and Home Safety Association, the Central Ontario Exhibition, Kitchener Theatre Arts Centre committee, farm forums, the Pennsylvania-German Folklore Society, Shantz Mennonite Church Women's Missionary Service Auxiliary, the Women's Institute and the Waterloo County Federation of Agriculture.
