SYLVIA ELIZONDO Obituary

Sylvia Ann Elizondo entered into rest on April 19th 2021. Sylvia was born on November 9th 1943, to John and Mamie Martinez.

Her husband called Sylvia his "Boss Lady" for 54 years. She was a queen for many social clubs and the Anselmo Martinez orchestra.

Sylvia was a huge Spurs fan and one year for her birthday she was selected to be co-captain of the game. Christmas was her favorite time of year and loved watching movies on the Hallmark channel. She loved flowers and dancing and a smile was never far from her face. She was a fighter to the end, never once giving up despite the hardships. She was the best mom ever to her daughter and a wonderful wife to her husband. She will be deeply missed.

Proceeding Sylvia in death are her parents, and her sisters, Irene Martinez and Josie Ramirez.

She is survived by her husband, Patricio, her daughter Yvonne and husband Jose Rodriguez, as well as her siblings John Z. Martinez (Teresa), and Yvonne Akeroyd (Mike).

A Visitation will be held at Sunset Funeral Home April 22, 2021 at 6pm, with a Rosary to begin at 7.

The Funeral mass will be April 24, 2021 at Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church at 1pm.

Masks are encouraged for the safety of the family and the public.
