Sylvia Cepeda, 80, of Corpus Christi, entered into glory on Friday, October 8, 2021.
She was born in Corpus Christi, Texas on September 1, 1941 to Frank and Sara Silvas.
Sylvia loved and served the Lord with so much enthusiasm. In 1984, she dedicated much of her life to missionary work in Mexico, then in 1995 she served as Pastor at Casa de Oracion and in 2016 she was Pastor at House of Prayer. Sylvia had a passion to serve people and as a result of that, she did outreach to our homeless community. She was a faithful member of The Lord Is Peace Church. For many years she was invited to go and preach God’s Word at several different churches. She was employed by Mrs. Patsy Winn for 20 years and 18 years she also worked for Mr. & Mrs. Charlie Winn.
