A Sylvia le encantaba pasar tiempo con Rafael, reír juntos y cocinar para él. Su pasatiempo favorito era cocinar y convivir con amigos y seres queridos. La fiesta del Cinco de Mayo, que comenzó con solo tres amigos, se convirtió en un gran éxito entre todos sus conocidos. También disfrutaba reunirse con excompañeros de trabajo y amigos para cenar y tomar algo.

Sylvia fue una hija y hermana muy amorosa y atenta, siempre dispuesta a ayudar a quien lo necesitara. Encontraba consuelo en versículos como 2 Timoteo 4:7: "He peleado la buena batalla, he terminado la carrera, he guardado la fe." Ahora descansa en los brazos del Salvador, gozando en la presencia del Todopoderoso.
