the love of her life—James Montgomery Taylor and they relocated to New York, NY. Silvia

was affectionately called “Sil-vee”, “Brown Eyes”, “Consuela” and “Auntie” by family and

peaceful spirit and sweet temperament. She enjoyed decorating, gardening, and cooking

for her family; especially johnny cakes, picadillo, and yellow rice with shrimp.

Hope Missionary Baptist, NY and was committed to missionary service. She also served on

the church’s Senior Gospel Choir.
