Sadly, predeceased by parents Nestor and Pauline, brothers Nick and Stan, sisters Kay, Alice and Elsie and first granddaughter, Kari.
Born in Winnipeg, MB, Sylvia was a classical pianist with a degree from the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto. Sylvia had a kind heart for everyone, especially her "poochie pies". She would pick the saddest looking dogs in the shelter to adopt, love and nurture. Chomkailulu Mama, we will see you in Heaven. We love you.
