In her earlier years, Sylvia assisted local families with domestic care. She later became employed with Tucker Photography. After her marriage, Sylvia dedicated her life to her family. As her children grew, she decided to go back to work. Sylvia started work at SEARS Roebuck retail and catalog before becoming employed as an office clerk with the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association. She worked there until retiring.

Sylvia will be remembered for her loving and accommodating nature. Her family was the most important thing to her, giving them her unconditional love. Sylvia loved to travel and taking family trips. She also enjoyed staying active physically as well as mentally. In her spare time she enjoyed being active with a bowling league, golfing, taking care of her yard, walking, and playing cards. She was considered to be an excellent baker; her pies and bread were second to none. In her later years, she enjoyed bird watching and playing Sudoku.
