Sylvia was a lovely person and she will be missed.
A Smile that lit up every room She entered! So glad that I was lucky enough to meet this very special Lady! Sylvia until we meet again Beautiful Lady!
We knew your Mom and Dad through their friendship with George and Maryann Stemack on Greekwood drive. We enjoyed many parties and events with them.
Your Mom always had a smile and boundless energy!! She was the nicest person we knew. The compassion she showed Maryann after George died helped Maryann through a very hard time.
She was a great Lady and left her mark on this earth. My dad would say she is one in a million she truly was!!!
Sylvia was a wonderful friend and person and I’m shocked to hear of her passing. She will be greatly missed by many people and especially her family- who were the world to her. May she rest in peace.
