Sylvia Lee Obituary

On December 3rd, 2023 Sylvia R. Lee entered God's heavenly Kingdom at the age of 65 after a brief illness. Sylvia was the mother of three children; Javette Turner, Demetrice Ford, & Terrence Rivers. She was the grandmother of 9: Tynae, Tianna Ladeja, Keelyn Jr., Delhauney, Taylor, Dominic (Nic), Jakeem, and Anassia. She was the great grandmother of 8. However, many people considered Sylvia a mother. Her final moments were spent peacefully in her daughters home in Suffolk, VA, surrounded by family and close friends. Known for her big beautiful smile and generous giving heart, Sylvia will be dearly missed by all who knew her.
