Sylvia was an avid reader of history and culture, and genealogy.  She was passionate about travelling, lifetime discovery and her Catholic faith.  She enjoyed playing the piano, singing karaoke, and dancing the night away.  She lived in humility as she would find ways to help others, always avoiding any recognition or attention.  She was truly one of a kind.
