Raised and cherished by Hazel and Harry Ducote. Sylvia was the devoted mother of Valerie Tybussek Spiehler (Rodney) and Jimmie L. Tybussek (Lynn).

Sylvia was an active member of Chit Chat, AARP #3926, Golden Ages and the Ochsner Golden Opportunity Club. She had an adventurous spirit and found great joy and freedom in travelling with her friends. She was proud to say that she visited every state in the country…except Oregon. If you happen to find yourself in Oregon, buy a magnet in her memory. She was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother and friend, and will be dearly missed by all who knew her.
