Sylvia and Riley enjoyed camping where they traveled through the U.S. and Canada. They also enjoyed their travels to Scotland, England, France, and Australia. While not traveling, Sylvia enjoyed cross-stitching and sewing. Sylvia had a warm and loving energy that made everyone feel welcomed, and was the kind of person who never met a stranger. She was a school teacher for over 20 years until her retirement.
The family would like to thank Terrebonne General 4th Floor Cardiac Care, all the doctors and nurses, especially Kera and Sabrina for their love and support.
