Sylvia McFarlane Obituary

April 25, 1914 - July 6, 2017 Sylvia McFarlane died July 6 at her home surrounded by people she loved. She lived a full life over the 103 years, outliving her husband Andrew of 57 years and all 7 of her siblings. She was a woman ahead of her time, running her own manufacturing business, managing all of the condominium complexes she lived in, and just generally managing everyone. She was a force, until her last breath. Services will be held this Sunday, July 9, 2017 at 3:00 p.m. at Mount Sinai Memorial Park, 5950 Forest Lawn Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90068. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Westside Foodbank in Santa Monica, CA, would be appreciated.
