Sylvia Wisniowicz

With heartfelt sorrow and deep love, we announce the passing of Sylvia on Thursday, May 21, 2026, who lived a remarkable 100 years filled with faith, devotion, and an abiding love for her family.

Sylvia was the beloved wife of the late Walter Wisniowicz, with whom she shared a lifetime of love and partnership. She was a devoted and loving mother to Robert (Joyce) Wisniowicz, Carol (Peter) Chamales, and the late Thomas Wisniowicz.

Her greatest joy in life was her family. She was a cherished grandmother to Pamela Chamales, Kimberly (Decker McElroy) Chamales, and James (Brittany) Chamales, and a proud great-grandmother to Ava and Ella, who brought her immense happiness and pride.

Sylvia was the dear sister of Connie (Casey) Kazmierowicz, and a treasured sister-in-law to Bernice “BeBe,” who lovingly stood by her side since 2010, offering constant companionship and care. She was also a fond and caring aunt to many nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by her siblings, Emily, Stephanie, Leo and Natalie.

A woman of strong faith, Sylvia was a devout Catholic whose spirituality guided her throughout her life. She was an active and dedicated member of St. Michael’s Parish, where she lent her voice to the choir and participated faithfully in the Rosary Prayer Group.

Sylvia had a deep appreciation for nature and beauty. As a proud member of the Garden Club, she not only cultivated stunning gardens—earning recognition and awards for her efforts—but also shared her passion by writing the club’s newsletter, bringing joy and connection to fellow members.

Sylvia will be remembered for her warmth, her gentle spirit, her unwavering faith, and her boundless love for her family. Her legacy lives on in the lives she touched and the love she so freely gave.

She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who knew her.
