Sylvia Elizabeth Butler was born on November 11, 1958 to Samuel and Elizabeth Boyd. She had a great childhood and thought her parents were the best. She was daddy’s little girl but loved her mom so much and looked up to her because she was a strong person. After they passed, she missed them tremendously. She had nine siblings: James, Sam, Oris, Al, Alease, Gladys, Wallace, Omar, and Joe. She loved her siblings very much and enjoyed the memories she shared with them. Sylvia had six children: Gerald, Katrina, Britany, Pat, Cora, and Brandon. She also had nine grandchildren: Jamell, Kamora, Joshua, Storm, Leah, Brandon, Michelle, Elijah and Brayden. She loved and cherished each and every one of them. She loved spending time with her children and grandchildren, especially family trips. When it came to them, she would endure anything. She was a strong woman who overcame the many obstacles and hurdles that life threw her way; such as, sitting for seven months at her son’s hospital bedside when he was suffering GBS, and enduring the pain of a mother losing a child, Britany; the light of her life. During her life, some of her favorite things to do were watching movies and listening to music. Her favorite game was The Sims. She loved designing homes and playing the characters. She loved watching Chinese movies. She also loved watching Les Twins. Their videos always put her in a good mood because of their dancing and brotherly bond. She also loved family trips and planning family events. Sylvia’s death came too soon but she suffered from cancer for 17 years and endured many sessions of chemotherapy. She decided in her last days that enough was enough and ended chemotherapy. She fought for much longer after that. She was strong and was determined to make it to her first international trip to Punta Cana in January 2017. She spent her last days, after that, in comfort and passed on February 5, 2018.
