Sylvia was the beloved wife of Richard C. Puls for 55 years; loving mother to Judy (Dave) Manning, Rich Puls, Donna (Levent) Turetgen, and David (Beth) Puls; cherished grandmother to Richie, Emma, Neyla, Melisa, William, and Sam; dear sister to Susan (late Christopher) Puchalla; aunt to Jenny, Julie, Chris, and Dan; and loved cousin, friend, colleague, and neighbor to many.
Sylvia graduated from Madonna High School and received her bachelors degree from Loyola University Chicago. She spent most of her professional career as a teacher, teaching science at Madonna and Marillac Catholic High Schools. She was a longtime parishioner of St. Zachary Parish, where she served in many ministries, including RCIA for 20 years.
In her free time, Sylvia enjoyed sewing, crocheting, watercolor painting, scrapbooking, and playing cards. She loved her time with her grandchildren and rarely missed an opportunity to cheer them on at their extracurricular events. Her perfect day would be spent on the sands of Marco Island, Florida with her loved ones, collecting seashells and watching the pelicans until sunset.
