Sylvia passed away peacefully on the 8th of May 2025, surrounded by love and family. She touched countless lives with her warmth and kindness and she will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
Sylvia and Stephen married in 1964, enjoying a long and loving marriage and celebrating their 60th Wedding Anniversary in 2024. Sylvia loved her family deeply, raising her children with great care, devotion, and immense pride in how her family had grown.
Throughout her life, Sylvia worked in many roles. She began as a seamstress at the factory where she first met and fell in love with Stephen.
