Sylvia was a Texas native from San Antonio who traveled a great distance throughout her life before settling in Arizona. The second to the oldest out of ten siblings, she is survived by her husband Sonny and four children: David, Steven, Maria, and Manuel. She was a loving grandmother to seven grandchildren: Angela, Vincent, Brianna, Mario, Lauren, Cameron, Lawrence, and one great grandchild, Charly. Sylvia spent her work career in the medical and dental field, she ran for Phoenix City Council, and Maricopa County Healthcare district 16 before concentrating on work again. She liked to spend time in the huge backyard that she helped design and she loved nothing more than spending time with her grandchildren.
