Sylvia and Barney made their home in the Oklahoma City area.

She was a kind and gracious lady and loved by all who knew her. She was active in Howard Memorial Baptist Church and served in the nursery there for many years, and Heavenly Heights Baptist Church, She worked at Mothers’ Day Out for many years.
