Passed away peacefully on Wednesday, December 10, 2025, at the age of 96. Predeceased by her parents, Frances and Joseph, and seven siblings. Beloved wife of the late Glen. Loving mother of David (Maureen), and Kathy (Miguel). Proud grandmother of Claudia, Justin, Dawson, and Devon. Sylvia will also be missed by numerous nieces and nephews, including Carole whose frequent visits meant so much to her and Ed’s cherished communications. A woman of strong Catholic faith, Sylvia found comfort in prayer and the support of her church community throughout her life. Sylvia and Glen were longtime residents of Etobicoke, where they loved raising their family, volunteering, and being part of a close-knit community. They were grateful for the warmth of wonderful neighbours and the many friendships and connections that made Etobicoke home.
