She is survived by her husband of fifty years, Wilson, as well as her children Carolyn (Geoff Rideout), Scott, and Susan, as well as her grandchildren Sophie and Max, who are both gorgeous. She was a cherished sister to Gail (Ken Armstrong), David Jenkins (Nora), Kent Jenkins (Janice), and Linda (Bob McMurdo), as well as a sister-in-law to Bev Murphy (Paul – Deceased), and an aunt to a large number of nieces and nephews. There is a big group of friends who are also grieving the loss of Sylvia.

Sylvia had a successful career as a Registered Nurse at the Janeway and Glenbrook Lodges, where she was responsible for providing residents and their families with care and support all during her tenure. There was no doubt that Sylvia possessed a radiant and lovely spirit. She had the potential to touch the lives and hearts of a great number of people, and her brilliant smile, enthusiasm, and capability allowed her to do so. She will be much missed.Both of Sylvia’s parents, Sigrid and Karl Heinz Heissler, passed away before she was born. I am the beloved sister of Peter Heissler.
Respected sister-in-law of Paul Murphy (Roslyn) and Alice English (Bill Durdle), who held her in high esteem. She will be remembered with affection by a large number of nieces and nephews, friends, and neighbours. Sylvia was more larger than life. It was with all of her heart that she loved. She was kind, genuine, and daring all at the same time. Whenever she was in the room, she made everyone feel like they were someone unique. It is because of the immense love that Sylvia had for her family and friends that she will be remembered and adored beyond all time.
There are two grandkids, Chelsey and Faith Sacre, as well as Frank Benson and his wife Carol, who also reside in Gorham.
