In loving memory of Sylvia Hillis, who brought warmth and love to all she knew, from May 2, 1928, to April 9, 2024, in La Mesa, CA. Sylvia's life was like a beautiful storybook, filled with adventure, kindness, and endless love.
Sylvia's journey began in the town of Hull, UK, where her spirit sparkled with promise. At just 22, she found herself in the breathtaking beauty of Niagara Falls, Canada, swept off her feet by a chance blind date that led her to the love of her life. Their love story unfolded like a fairytale, blessed with the arrival of their dear son Stephen, whose laughter and giggles filled their home with endless joy. From the snowy wonderland of Canada to the sunny beaches of Florida, they embraced each new adventure with open arms, eagerly awaiting the arrival of their precious daughter Sherry. Finally, they found their forever home in the warm embrace of San Diego, where they created a haven of love and cherished memories.
Sylvia's days were not just about work but about making a difference in people's lives. Whether it was meticulously crunching numbers as an accountant at a car dealership in Canada or opening her heart and home to care for children in San Diego, Sylvia's kindness knew no bounds.
Her love for her garden was like a reflection of her gentle soul. Among the vibrant roses and delicate snowdrops, Sylvia found peace and joy, nurturing her flowers with the same tenderness she showed to everyone around her.
Sylvia's greatest joy came from her family, of her two children and blessed with her five grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren, and one more on the way. She was their rock, their source of wisdom and love, and her legacy will live on in their hearts forever.
Though Sylvia may have left this world, her spirit will continue to shine brightly, lighting the way for all who were lucky enough to know her. Rest in peace, dear Sylvia. Your love and kindness will be cherished always.
