Sylvia Aynn Richards

Sylvia attended Chipeta Elementary school, where she was in the 4th grade. She loved to learn and read, often taking time to read books to her little sister Tesla, whom she adored.

A lover of animals and nature, Sylvia spent many days on her grandparent’s farm driving the tractor and using her imagination to create outdoor adventures. She was a loving caretaker for her pet gerbil Boomer and cat Katniss, and also enjoyed tending to the chickens on the farm.

Though she participated in Girls on the Run and discovered she hated running, she never gave up. She was always very active and enjoyed dancing, gymnastics, roller skating, and riding her bike. Music was always a big part of her life, and she took every opportunity to dance and sing, much to the enjoyment of her family and anyone else in her presence.

Through her love of anime, Sylvia engaged her creative mind and established several strong friendships.

Most of all, Sylvia loved her family and she will be missed deeply by all those who loved her.

Sylvia is survived by her mother Kylie Mayfield and sister Tesla Beagley; father Ramsey Richards, sister Meah Mogensen; grandparents Jeanne Marie and Larry Garceau, Tom and Margene Richards; and many aunts, uncles, and cousins.

A memorial service will be held on Friday, January 10, 2020 at 3 pm at Callahan-Edfast Mortuary, 2515 Patterson Road. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Sylvia Richards GoFundMe account gf.me/u/wqttdb.
