Sylvia enjoyed trips to the beach, traveling, shopping, and working in her flower gardens, feeding the wild birds, rabbits; and occasional raccoons and skunks that visited her yard. Sylvia and her husband always enjoyed returning to the Four Oaks Primitive Baptist Church that she had attended with her parents while growing up.

The family appreciates your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
