Not sure what to say?

I continue to have pleasant memories of Sylvia. I was a legal secretary at the time she was a judge and, although I didn't see her often, we always had a pleasant visit. She will be missed for a long time as a trustworthy, honest individual and we can be proud of her service.

Judge Sylvia Rambo will be missed but never forgotten. She´s been my buddy girlfriend as we both were the only women on our courts for many years. I loved our dinners and lunches together but also those martinis when we´d get together-ah-the wonderful memories of so many conversations will be with me always.

My sincere sympathy to the family. Sylvia was a dear friend.

Todd, Jody, and Joel, Our deepest sympathies go out to you. We really enjoyed having her visit the farm on family occasions over the 40+ years that we knew her. Sylvia always had interesting and amusing stories to tell. And we loved picking her brain! It was always apparent how proud she was of the three of you and your families. Sylvia was quite a lady and leaves behind an extremely impressive legacy. She will sadly be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

My deepest sympathies to the Douglas stepchildren , our paths crossed since childhood with different family members. Know that you all are in my thoughts during this difficult time. I knew Judge Rambo as a neighbor where we played on her road and as a client that was very strong , direct and spoke with pride of family, accomplishments and duty. Quite a distinguished woman that I respect for her unwavering dedication.

Condolences to the family

I´m only aware of Judge Rambo´s name and accomplishments. A well-lived life. Condolences to family and friends.

I've known Sylvia since she became an attorney. I worked for years for Landis, McIntosh & Black and became a friend of Sylvia's during that time. She was a fine lady and I always have had respect for her and her accomplishments. I am pleased with and respect her professional life. My deepest sympathy to all of her family.
