Sylvia Neukom Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Mar. 15, 2010.
Sylvia Hidalgo Neukom, born June 3, 1926 in Raceland, Louisiana, passed away on Sunday March 14, 2010. She is preceded in death by her wonderful and beloved husband, Gene Neukom, a WWII veteran from Mobile, Alabama. She is survived by her four children, Stephen Neukom, Susie Neukom Hance, Greg Neukom & Kerri Neukom Wicklund, 7 grandchildren, 6 great-grandchildren, and a sister, Shirley Robichaux. Sylvia & Gene moved to Houston after they married in 1945, where they raised their family, made life long friends & enjoyed their grandchildren. Sylvia was devoted to her family & many friends, & was best remembered for her strength, perseverance & love of life, or as Mom would say, "Laissez les bons temps rouler." In addition to enjoying her family & friends, she was passionate in her commitment to MAM, & also volunteered at various Alzheimer's organizations. A Memorial service will be held on March 19th at 11:00 AM in the Pines Presbyterian Church, 12751 Kimberly Lane, Houston, Texas. In lieu of flowers, a donation can be made to MAM Memorial Assistance Ministries, 1625 Blalock Rd., Houston, Texas 77080.

Sylvia was a SPECAIL friend to Mom (Mere Woolfe) and our family. She told me Saturday that she and Mom did everything they wanted to together. They had so much fun traveling!I will miss her smile and great sense of humor. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

Our condolences go out to the family. Sylvia was a loyal member and charming asset to Point/Counterpoint and its Mary Maverick Forum. Her bright smile and undying cheerfulness will be sorely missed at meetings.

Whenever I think of Sylv, I remember first her laughter. She was always telling cajun jokes or something just as funny, and always lifted your spirits. She will be sorely missed by all who loved her. My heart goes out to all of her children, whom she so dearly loved. Jean Whitaker
