Rison, AR Wednesday, June 18, 2025 I am so sorry to read of Sylvia's passing. I have known her all my life although we didn't see each other often these last few years. When you are a Green Hill girl you always remain a Green Hillgirl it seems. I will be lifting her family in prayer for their great loss. My prayer is that the Lord
will give you peace, comfort and strength to get you through the days without her. Please accept
my sincere sympathy.

Wilmar, AR Monday, June 16, 2025 Dear Family, please accept my deepest sympathy. I am another Green Hill girl and Sylvia was just a few years older than me. She was closer to my sister Carole's age. I remember when Sylvia's family lived within walking distance of us and we would walk there sometimes when we had time as a kid. While she went to Drew Central School and we went to Wilmar School we were always together on Sunday at church. We were friends on Facebook. I will miss her comments on some of mine. I know she is looking down today and sending her family her love. May God give you comfort.Gloria Ryburn

Monticello, AR Saturday, June 14, 2025 Dear Family, You have my condolences at this sad time. I am sorry for your loss of sweet Sylvia Jane. I have known her all of my life. I well remember when she was in highschool and I was in elementary, we were neighbors and rode the same school bus. Mr Lloyd Rodgers was our bus driver. In later years after Sylvia was out of school, her brother Carl was my bus driver. He was in college at the time. My mother was a Stephenson from Green Hill; the Pace & Stephenson families were close. Sylvia's mom Mrs. Blanche was one in my favorite people when I was a kid. My Aunt Geneva married Sylvia's Uncle Norbert. I could go on & on, but I will close with, "May you find peace in knowing that Sylvia Jane is with her LORD.
