Sylvia was a loving wife, mother, and grandmother. She loved cooking, baking, and sewing. She made it her duty to take care of others. She also enjoyed traveling, and outings with the Red Hat Ladies. She really enjoyed cruises, and she loved fishing.
Special thanks to her friends, Lynda Blackburn, Martha McGaughey, Elena Beck and Hospice in the Pines.
The matriarch and love of our lives has left this earth and met our wonderful Jesus in His glory. We know without a doubt she is wearing a crown of jewels that is immeasurable. Her love and compassion for others is a testimony of how she lived her life. She was a caretaker by nature and never seconded guess lending a hand for those in need. The love she had for her family and friends is something no one can imagine but only experience. She was a gem on earth and a testimony for the love of God. Most family and friends knew how she loved to be in control but also how she loved with every ounce of her being. We are so thankful she is being reunited with her children who has passed before her. She is witnessing the things we cannot see but know that is waiting for us. She is healed and walking on those wonderful streets of gold. Even though our hearts are breaking, we are so happy she is walking with our Lord.
