She was an enthusiastic traveler who enjoyed meeting and developing lasting friendships with people she met all over the world. Her flare for fashion, sense of humor, and zest for life will be fondly remembered by those who knew her.

Sylvia will be deeply missed by her daughters, Lyndse Prime (Walter Atwell); Lezley Prime; grandchildren; and the many who loved her and called her friend.
