With a broken heart and tear-filled eyes, I announce the end of an era for our family. On Saturday, May 16, 2020, Sylvia Lorraine Shane (Urbanetti), of Manchester and Lady Lake, Florida, peacefully passed away after a 2-plus year hard fought battle with Lewy-body dementia. You have earned your angel wings!

He was a Navy career man, they were happily married for 45 years. They have three wonderful children, David, Bruce, and Colleen Shane.
