Sylvia lived her life to the fullest. Everyone was a friend and she was always thinking of others, and was willing you to give you the shirt off of her back. She loved College Football , especially her Auburn Tigers, and on Saturdays she would always make time for College Game Day on ESPN. When she was younger Sylvia was very involved with the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) professional wrestling traveling throughout the country for different events. Her lasagna was out of this world, and family and friends would always rave about how good it was. She loved her family, her husband, children, grandchildren, all of her family, including her dogs. Life was always about family.
She is proceeded in death by her father Bobby Wilson and mother Edna Grimes.
She is survived by her husband Mark Lykins, her 5 siblings Ronnie Jenkins, Sue Merritt, Linda McClellan, Karen Wilson Solomon, Jimmy Wilson, her 4 daughters Kimberly Baio (husband Jerry) Katie Thilbeault (husband Chris), Charlotte Watson (husband Shane), Stephanie Parker (husband Chris), and her 13 grandchildren, Sydney, Shanna, Killian, Cameron, Gabriel, Orian, Jackson, Caylee, Kyleigh, Rebecca, Skylar, Violet, and Gerald, as well as 3 great grandchildren, Bellamy, Scarlett and Sylvie, and many loved nieces and nephews.
