Sylvia was a devoted wife, mother, and caregiver. She worked many years as a LPN/OR nurse at Rex Hospital and Real estate broker in North Carolina. Sylvia was a strong Christian who never missed an opportunity to talk with any stranger about Jesus' grace and forgiveness. Most of all she was a loving wife and mother. Sylvia liked cooking, music and long heartfelt conversations. She will be missed greatly but is now at peace.
The family will receive friends from 2:00-4:00 p.m. on Thursday, August 21, 2025 at Mountain City Funeral Home. The burial will immediately follow at Phillippi Cemetery.
