Sylvia was a hardworking individual who dedicated several years of her career to McCord's Cleaners and spent many summers working alongside her husband, Johnny, at Pride Pool.

Her love for her family was evident in everything she did, and she took great pride in supporting her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.

The family would like to thank the staff at Camillia Health and Rehab for the love and care they provided to Sylvia during her residency.

Sylvia's legacy of love, kindness, and resilience will be cherished by her family and all who had the privilege of knowing her.
