She graduated from La Junta High School in La Junta, Colorado in 1949. A longtime resident of San Antonio, she retired from Southwestern Bell in the 1980's.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Donaciano Garcia and Lucia Garcia Zamora; stepfather Juan Zamora, sisters Mary Vigil and Ann and Viola Garcia; brothers Celestino "Bill" and Ernest Don Garcia; sister-in-law Helen Garcia; stepbrothers Joe and Juan Zamora; stepson Anthony "Randy" Aragon; niece Nancy Juarez; and first husband Everett Patrick "Skip" Bennett.

Sylvia will be remembered for the birthday cards she mailed to her family and friends every year, the care packages with hand-embroidered crafts and carefully selected trinkets, her love of sunflowers and owls, and mostly her warm, generous, and loving spirit. She was quick to laugh, never met a stranger, and had a wonderful sense of humor.

My dear and beautiful Aunt Sylvia. You were so special to me, Fernando, Lisa, Deanna (Buffy) our son-in-law's and our grandchildren. You never even met our beautiful grandchildren (Antonia Arthur Gabe and Brody) yet every birthday you would remember them, and, not only with cards, but little momentos that they will cherish forever. They may have never met you, but they will always know who you are by the fond memories we will continue to share with them about you. You are one of a kind and you are one "special lady" and God called you home to be his "special angel." You will be missed by everyone who knew you and because of every heart you touched by your tender smile. I love you so much! Please give my mom, my aunts and uncles and "gramo & grampo" a HUGE hug for us - until we meet again.❤❤
