Sylvia loved to explore the world, spending time studying in France, England and Italy, exploring archaeological digs in Egypt, and living in a commune in Israel. She is missed by her many friends in Ojai, Seattle and around the world.
She was kind and smart and loved to laugh. She had a playful spirit and enjoyed her grand nieces Jamie, Marina and Clementina, and grand nephews Lucas and Cody. She loved to sing and dance and thoroughly enjoyed art, including collecting, painting and crafts.
