During her marriage Sylvia was active in Santa Rosa Chapter Hadassah. Was president three successive years and wrote the Newsletter each month. The chapter always reached all quotas to help Israel and other countries.
One of Sylvia's favorite hobbies was to crochet. Many, if all of her family, enjoy the warmth of an afghan she crocheted. Sylvia was a voracious reader. Her favorite place was the library where her librarian friends, Susan and Cathy, always welcomed her with a smile. The entire Library staff were always helpful.
She celebrated her 80th birthday by getting a tattoo with her husband's name surrounded by a heart. She was told that she was the oldest client to come in for a tattoo.
When Sylvia stopped driving her daughters, Lisa and Davida, were extremely helpful taking her on her various errands. Going to lunch was her favorite. Son, Paul, paid each month for a service which kept Sylvia safe while living alone. Son-in-law, Robert, often prepared delicious dinners for Sylvia and brought them right to her door. Son-in-law, Corey, helped Sylvia with her many electrical problems.
