Sylvia leaves behind her youngest and beloved daughter Jane (Gary) Constantineau.

Anyone who ever had the pleasure of one of Sylvia’s delicious meals, especially her cabbage rolls and amazing baking will tell you, she was truly phenomenal in the kitchen. She loved sharing food, coffee and conversation at the kitchen table and the holiday gatherings were so loved by everyone.
