Sylvia Skarpalezos Rowell

Sylvia had fond memories of growing up on the water with her four siblings on Blythe Island, Georgia. After graduating from Glynn Academy in 1959, she became a member of Beta Sigma Phi sorority. In her later years, Sylvia enjoyed playing bingo (and often winning), making crafts, spending time with her children and grandchildren, learning more about her Greek heritage, and found passion in creating cakes for various events in Brunswick. Sylvia was known for always taking pleasure in a bowl of vanilla ice cream.

She retired from the State of Georgia and previously worked for Jekyll Island Authority.

She is preceded in death by her father, John Skarpalezos; her mother, Winnie Skarpalezos; her husband, Franklin H. "Nick" Rowell; her brothers, Harlan and George Skarpalezos; and sisters, Carrie Bishop and Ellen Pennell.

She is survived by her four children, Regina Rowell Head (Joe), Lisa Rowell Tinney (Walt), Katrina Rowell Anastasia (James), and Stacey Rowell Zeleznik (David); her grandchildren, Mollie Tinney, Daniel Head, Taylor Bridges, Danielle King, Tyler Anastasia, Kyle Anastasia, Jackson Zeleznik, and Scarlett Anastasia.

A visitation will be held at Edo Miller and Sons Funeral Home on Sunday, September 24, 2023 from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM.
