We called her "Miss Sylvia" - she was so classy and such a diva. Always dressed up, so beautiful. With a smile of welcome and love on her face. When you asked her how she was she always said "I am blessed". She truly was. And we are blessed to have known this lovely woman of God. Gail and Dan, you have been such wonderful support to Miss Sylvia. When I grow up - I want to be just like Miss Sylvia! We sure will look forward to seeing you on the day that Jesus returns. Right now, we are visualizing you dancing with your new perfectly healed hip in Heaven, Praising Jesus! Thank you for being our friend! We will miss you - keep looking for us! Jesus is coming soon!!

Sylvia was a lovely lady and had a gorgeous smile. She loved her dogs and doted on them. She will be also be missed in her community.

Sylvia Tufte (Wallace) was my aunt (my mother Martha Olsen's (d) sister) and she was a very wonderful lady.
My father Phil Olsen (d) also admired Sylvia very much.
I can remember as children playing with Sylvia's sons (Randy (d) and Ron) at their house near S. 82nd and Pacific Ave. in Tacoma, WA.
And (of course) I also miss uncle Paul Tufte (d) (her husband of many years). Sylvia's given name was Francis, and she never really liked it, so she changed her name to Sylvia many years ago.
Sylvia always made sure that everyone who visited had plenty to eat and drink. She really enjoyed making us all feel at home. She was a great homemaker and a very sweet lady who truly loved God and all the folks at church.
My mother and she were especially close.
I have nothing but love in my heart for Sylvia, as I'm sure everyone else does. She will be missed.
God bless her very much.

Sylvia will truly be missed by many friends at the Fife Pool. She attended the LAFF class (water exercise) faithfully for 14 years, 3 times a week. She was well-known as a dog -lover, and almost always had Sugar-Babe with her, waiting in the car on her little pillow. I enjoyed being a friend of Sylvia's, and exercising with her at the pool. She was a tremendous lady. Glenna Gessner
