Sylvia maintained an active and independent lifestyle whether dining with the “Lunch Bunch,” gathering with the Matlock Young at Heart group, or socializing at the Jamboree with friends. She had a great sense of humor, loved to travel, and was always up for an adventure. Sylvia possessed a playful spirit, loved to joke, and could often be found playing with her great-grandchildren whom she loved dearly.

A Memorial Service celebrating Sylvia’s life will be held 11:00 AM Saturday, January 13, at Matlock Baptist Church in Jackson, SC with Reverend Dale Reeves officiating. The family will receive friends at the church an hour prior to the service.
