When her children were growing up, she was known in the neighborhood to play kickball and get all the children involved in making home- made ice cream. Sylvia loved attending and participating in her children's activities.
All the teachers at school looked forward to tasting her special treats for the bake sales.
Sylvia worked as a telecommunications engineer for Quest Diagnostics in Teterboro, N.J, where she retired after 33 years. Most people didn't know that she had a beautiful voice and loved to sing gospel songs.
She also enjoyed getting her family together, cooking large meals for family and friends and baking exciting new treats. She was the "favorite "aunt to some. Sylvia had a loud infectious laugh.
If you didn't find something funny at the time, you would after hearing her laugh. When meeting her, you couldn't help but notice her "million dollar" smile. She had a smile that would brighten any room.
She will forever live in our hearts.
