When I was young Aunt Sylvia watched me. Who didn't she watched. We played games, cards and watched TV. It was always fun going to her house. I loved swimming in the pool. She had get togethers there. The pool was used a lot. When I had my son Baylen, she watched him too. He always wanted to go to her house. He had so much fun, as he called her Aunt Silver. We loved her so much and will miss her dearly.

I was truly Blessed to have Sylvia as my Older Sister. She always watched over me with my chores and homework. She had the most loving heart as I lived it daily growing up. She was such a giving person. She helped out at my office many times. She lived with us and took care of my Bride Pam. I was so Blessed to have her as my sister. She helped me remodel my mom's home. One day I had her paint a door. I looked over and asked her why she painted it that color. She said it looked better with a Smile. Just loved that answer. I told her she did a great job. Next day she repainted the door. It had many coats of paint. We had so much fun being together. The most wonderful, loving and caring Sister with a Great Big Heart. We loved her so very much and will miss her dearly.

I sat next to her in typing class she would be typing along a lot faster than me I had to stop her so I would lean over and strike a few key on her typewriter to mess her typing she would get so mad it was great for me. Sylvia was a great student all through high school she made honor roll every nine weeks she will be missed

I remember when the alzheimers set in and see would always want to watch her great grand daughter Addyson so I asked her, "hey maw maw can you "babysit" Addyson for me while I go to work?" Knowing my dad would be home to keep an eye on them...I got a phone call later at work that she had changed Addyson's diaper 5 times in one hour because she kept forgetting that she had already changed her. I didn't mind...because I know how happy it made her.

I have only got the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Sylvia a couple times and she was the sweetest lady. She loved her grandchildren so much and that was so heart warming to see. My heart goes out to all of her children and grandchildren and I hope she lives through them. Rest in Heaven Mrs Sylvia ❤

Aunt Sylvia was like a second mom to me and my brothers since her and mom were so close being the only 2 girls of the 7 siblings. She had such a huge heart and loved all children. I will never forget the delicious homemade pizza she would make every Tuesday night, no one could make pizza like her. I'm so blessed to have had such a wonderful aunt! She will always have a special place in my heart. Till we meet again, I love you Aunt Sylvia!

Mrs. Sylvia was the sweetest person I know. I can still remember her laughing with us around the dining room table at all of Wendy's parties or just when we were being super silly little girls. She was a genuinely nice and giving person; she became a mom to everyone. She will be missed.

Miss Sylvia was a second mom to me, she always treated me as her own when I would spend the weekend with Wendy. I still remember the way she fussed at us when we took too long getting ready to leave for the gun show, or swatting at us when we were sassy while she smiled the whole time. She will be missed dearly but I know she will still keep us in line from heaven.

While I only knew Sylvia through my high school friendship with her daughter, it was apparent that she was a beautiful and caring soul. I wish her family peace in their sweet memories of her in the days to come.

I remember when I first met Wendy's Mama, at Moms & Tots. She would follow Angele and Xander all around as they played. I know she must be up in heaven now following Anah around in just the same way!
