BARBARA SILVANIC Obituary

BARBARA ANN STERNER SILVANIC (1931-2019) On Thursday, Jan. 17, 2019, Barbara Ann Sterner, loving mother, Grammy, aunt, sister, in-law and friend retired from her journey here on Earth. She passed away peacefully with loving family and special sister-in-law, Ana, at her side. Barbara was born in Johnson City, NY, and married Edward Silvanic in 1949. She loved to sing, play cards and watch Jeopardy! Barbara was preceded in death by her brothers, Gerald, Maurice, Bernard, and David; sister-in-law, Martha; and her great-grandson, Nolan. She is survived by their four children, Edward, Matthew, Suzanne, and Maureen; grandchildren; great-grandchildren; cousins; nieces; and nephews. Services will be private. Barbara's request is to "not overlook the needs of those closest to you" and ask that you reach out to someone that you hold dear.

I grew up on Banks Avenue across the street from the Sterners. I have so many great memories of them all. I use to babysit for Barbara's children and loved visiting her in Syracuse. She was so pretty, inside and out. I did get to speak to her about a year ago. I'm sorry i didn't get to see her once more. May she Rest In Peace.

Sincerely, Mary Ann Thompson (Regni)

Suzanne, Both Nino & I are sending all of our love to you and your family at this difficult time. Your Mom (Aunt Barbara) was truly an amazing woman. From a child I knew she was someone special. So kind and funny throughout her whole life. We loved the few times she came and stayed with us while attending her high school reunions. You were all blessed to have an amazing Mom and Grammy. Sending our love to all of you. Love, Nino & Beth XOXO

Psalm 90:10 says that the days of our years are 70 years, And if because of special mightiness they are 80 years.
May the memories of the wonderful times you shared together bring a smile and joy in your heart.
