Born in Sydney Mines on July 21, 1942, she was the daughter of the late Sidney and Ella Mae (LeBlanc) Tremblett.
Sylvia spent her entire life devoted to loving and raising her family who she loved very much. Her happiest moments were greeting one of children or grandchildren coming through the door with that smile that could light up the world. She offered an open heart to all who knew her and provided a helping hand to anyone she could.

A Golden Heart stopped beating
Hardworking hands did cease,
God saw you getting tired
And let you rest in peace.
