Sylvia will be remembered for the birthday cards she mailed to her family and friends every year, the care packages with hand-embroidered crafts and carefully selected trinkets, her love of sunflowers and owls, and mostly her warm, generous, and loving spirit. She was quick to laugh, never met a stranger, and had a wonderful sense of humor.
