Sylvia Love McCormack McCallister

Whenever Sylvia texted me, at the age of 94, to serve communion I just could never say no. She had a gentile but firm sway over people.

I have so many fond memories of Sylvia when she was in the thick of the arts community in Ames! An artist herself, but also a volunteer who supported and promoted the creative lives of so many. And such a special, lovely person! I kept in touch via letters for a number of years after she moved, but when a letter came back, I assumed she must have been in care and then I didn't know how to find her. I am happy that she was so close to her children and am sure you kept a watchful eye. God speed, Sylvia! (Look at that big smile in her picture!)

Marilyn and family, Sorry for your loss. She was an amazing lady and will be missed.

Drinking at the speakeasy in Antigua, although I didn´t really get to chat with her much. It was clear that she was living her life to the fullest. I´m so happy she was able to see Nicole and Mike´s lovely wedding and her memory will be cherished forever

Sylvia always seemed to handle her life´s challenges with steely strength and ALWAYS a wide smile. I have seen this admirable characteristic in her daughter and my dear friend, Polly. So Sylvia, you live on.
