Sylvia Dianne Dvorak of Gold Canyon Arizona received her angel’s wings on Saturday, July 20, 2024. She also resided in California for much of her life.
She was preceded by her loving parents Sylvester Dewey Crow and Zilpha Ophelia Crow.
Sylvia retired from nursing after over 25 years of service in labor and delivery, lovingly known to all as Aunt Syl.
Precious memories will always remain in the hearts of her loved ones: Daughter Kimberly Shelton and Son-in-law, Steven Shelton Sr., 3 grandchildren, and 9 great grandchildren including Jason Dane Reynolds his wife Kiya and Katrynn Reynolds who were extremely close to “Lil Grandma”. Sisters Julia Kirtland & Brother-in-law Gerald Kirtland, Loretta and Doug Penrod, Bessie Wolff, Nita and Jed Fraizer.

Sylvia or “Aunt Syl” as she was known to so many was the voice of reason, the best storyteller, advice giver, hand holder, supporter, broken heart healer, teacher, nerve calmer, sunshine, heart and soul, comedian, confidant, and Best friend. She had an infectious smile and a contagious laugh!
While our family and her friends, across all states, will miss her dearly, we know there was a celebration when the Lord called her home. There to meet her at the gates of heaven were her Daddy and Mama, niece Cyndi Lohnes, and brother-in-law “Uncle Bob” Wolff.
Love you Mama, more than words can ever say.
Until we meet again, Rest in peace with no more pain~♥
- “And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.””
Revelation 21:4

Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. She will be sorely missed by those who know her but have comfort knowing she is once again reunited with our Lord.
Sylvia always had a smile for us. In our hearts
I am sad to hear about Sylvia’s passing. I have not seen her for many years, but we were classmates at Mesa High, Class of 1962. Sylvia was always friendly, kind and caring. With those qualities, I’m sure she was an extra special nurse. Sending prayers of comfort to her family, other loved ones and friends.
As an Auntie-by-marriage, she was the best! A true and sassy friend. I will miss her dearly.
Aunt Sylvia was a beautiful person! I have many fond memories of her. My condolences to her family.
My beautiful Aunt Syl, I will always love you as you have loved me.
