    Her Story

    [/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]Bethany K. “Baby Girl” Joyal, 22, of Dover, died suddenly on Thursday, July 7, 2005, during childbirth at Wentworth-Douglass Hospital in Dover. Bethany was born in Manchester on Feb.17, 1983, a daughter of Richard T. and Kathy M. (Roberge) Simard.

    She had been a resident of Dover since 2001, formerly living in Manchester. Bethany was a graduate of Manchester Memorial High School, Class of 2001, and graduated in grooming and business from the University of New Hampshire in 2003 and 2004. Bethany had played softball at Manchester’s South Jr. Deb, and a number of years as a Granite State Rockers All-Star, with two national tournaments achieved. Bethany was an avid animal lover. She was an incredible pet groomer who planned to open her own shop, “The Ruff Kutt.” She was formerly employed at Tails Above the Rest in Manchester, All Critters Corner in Dover and Dogs & Peoples in Portsmouth.

    In addition to her parents of Manchester, she leaves her husband, Matthew R. Joyal of Dover; her son, Cole Chase Joyal of Dover; her sister, April C. Simard of Rochester; her paternal grandparents, Andre and Gail Simard of Hooksett; her maternal grandparents, Dave and May Shaw of Hooksett; and her great-grandmother, Ruby Morse of Manchester.

    Bethany is also survived by her father- and mother-in-law, James and Raylene Joyal Sr., of Rochester; her aunts and uncles, Karen and Scott Bunker, Lauri and Edward Roberge, Cyndi and Jeff Campbell, Michele Simard-Alatti and Nick Alatti, Anita and Michael Simard, Eva and Richard Roberge; her step-aunts and uncles, Jenny, Joe, Jill, Ted, Jessie Lyn and Phil; 19 cousins; many, many friends and loved ones; and her dogs, Natty, Semper and Harry.

    Bethany, who was also known as B, Beana, Babe, Mama, Squid Lips, Porkchop, and Dirtdevil, had a smile that could light up the room. She was a beautiful young woman with an incredible personality. She was a great friend to many, as she had a very loving heart. She could make anyone laugh with her witty ways. Those who knew her will miss her greatly.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”profile-links-header”]

    Her Story

    [/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]Laura Michelle Snider was born November 16, 1987, in Yakima, Washington, and died from complications related to childbirth on August 13, 2022, in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.

    Laura spent her early years in Selah, Washington, and moved with her family to Sagle in the spring of 1999 and attended Sagle Elementary, Sandpoint Middle, and Sandpoint High School. She played basketball and soccer, ran track and cross-country, participated in Junior Miss, and excelled as a student. Laura was elected as the sophomore, junior, and senior class president and in 2016 organized her class’s 10-year reunion. Laura surrounded herself with people who stayed her lifelong friends.

    Laura was a rare combination of quiet, yet fierce determination with a deeply loving and warm heart. Laura began her career at Serv-a-Burger during high school and continued to excel in every job she undertook. Her brother called her the quiet assassin because she had a habit of tackling difficult jobs: from buying a house or car to building a fence or starting a new job, by simply announcing what she had accomplished only after it was successfully executed. Her dad referred to her as “maddingly independent” and both her parents were filled with pride at how much she accomplished in all aspects of her life.

    Laura took care of those around her. She sent cards with heartfelt messages, reached out to check on her friends and family, and she told people how much she cared about them. Laura was as beautiful on the inside as she was on the outside.

    Laura passed away during the happiest period of her life. She adored her fiancé, Bryce Mort, and everyone who saw them together realized they had the good fortune of being the missing pieces to each other’s puzzles. Together they brought two daughters into the world, Mabel Grace and Hadley June. Laura loved being a mother and was the glue that held her family together.

    Laura took all her determination, warmth, and love and, with Bryce, built a beautiful home in the woods where she, Bryce, and her two daughters spent a magical week together before she passed. Laura’s love for her family is the centerpiece of the home she and Bryce built for their growing family, from the carefully organized drawers in Hadley’s nursery, to the walls already hung with family pictures, to the books that Mabel has memorized after reading them time and again with her mom, to a trinket from her dear friend tucked in a kitchen drawer. Laura built a corner of the world looking over the mountains of North Idaho that showed her deep love for Bryce, her daughters, family, and dear friends.

    Laura’s love will be carried forward. Her parents, Bob and Mary Snider, and her fiancé, Bryce, and will keep Laura’s memory alive for Mabel and Hadley, and her Uncle Roger and Aunt Doreen promise that Laura’s girls will always know about their mom’s authentic, loving heart. May all the love that Laura put into this world be radiated back to those grieving this unimaginable loss.

    Laura is survived by her heartbroken family including her fiancé Bryce Mort, newborn daughter Hadley June, preschooler Mabel Grace, parents Robert and Mary Snider [Sandpoint], sister Bobbi Snider [Coeur d’Alene] niece Taya, nephews Isaiah and Joey, brother Richie Snider [Boise], nieces Brady and Ella, Uncle Jim and Aunt Terry Snider [Washington], Uncle Roger and Aunt Doreen Sargent [Tucson, Arizona] and Grandparents Mary Snider and Dave Koch [Tucson, Arizona].[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”profile-links-header”]
