A devout woman of strong faith, Sylvia began each day with heartfelt prayers. Her faith was a guiding light that illuminated her path and touched the lives of those around her.

One of Sylvia's greatest pleasures in life was the time spent in long, heartfelt conversations over the phone with friends and family. These cherished moments were a testament to her nurturing and supportive nature, as she took the time to connect and share with those she held dear. Sylvia and her beloved husband William enjoyed little getaways to the casino; creating memories filled with laughter and shared joy. As time went on, they found joy in quieter trips downtown, relishing the simple pleasures of togetherness.
Sports were a passion for Sylvia, particularly when it came to cheering on her favorite teams, the Detroit Tigers and Lions. She rarely missed a game, finding joy and camaraderie in supporting her teams with unwavering loyalty. In her leisure time, Sylvia found enjoyment in playing cards and bingo, activities that brought her closer to loved ones and created lasting memories. Visits with family and friends were not just moments of joy for Sylvia but expressions of gratitude for the love and companionship she held dear in her heart.
