I met Sylvia when she enrolled at Idaho State. I thought she was one of the nicest young women I
had ever met. I'm so sorry to hear about her passing, but know
she has gone on to a wonderful place called heaven. I knew Pappy also and he was a great guy. God Bless them both and may they rest in peace.

Sylvia and her husband Don (Pappy) were true classics. Generous, gracious, kind, and humble, they were family friends, community builders, and unwavering ISU supporters. She will be sorely missed by many in the community, university and state. RIP Sylvia.
