Sylvia will forever be remembered by her big beautiful smile, deep dimples, her long dark hair. Sylvia loved each day to the fullest and quick to laugh, her laugh will continue to echo down the halls and in our hearts. She loved her family and would speak of her grandbabies to anyone that would listen. The grandbabies are perfect in every way, in her words. Grandma, Gaga, Grammy would do anything for her babies.
Sylvia was a proud Native American, from the Cahuilla Tribe, who loved to learn and share her culture.
Sylvia was a highly creative woman, always hand making gifts for others, no task was too big. She took her love of culture and creativity a step further and began instructing classes for Soboba Tribal Tanf, Morongo Tribal Tanf and surrounding Southern California Indian Reservations. Sylvia was very dedicated to her job at Riverside Community Hospital where she worked in the Emergency Department until she contracted and lost her life to COVID19.
