Obituary for Sylvia Hall
Sylvia Hall
1948 – 2024
Sylvia Hall passed away peacefully on Wednesday, April 10, 2024, at the age of 75 at her home in Cochrane, following a battle with Alzheimer’s.
Sylvia was born on August 23, 1948, in Kingston, Jamaica, to Oswald McKay and Ianthie Plummer. In 1970, she moved to Montreal and later settled in Edmonton, Alberta, with her husband, Errol and family, where she lived for over 30 years.
Sylvia was a remarkable woman who achieved many things. She was diligent in her work and appearance. Her educational journey led her to the Alberta Vocational College in Edmonton, where she developed her skills to become an executive assistant. This paved the way for her to work with the Government of Alberta for many years. Sylvia was a devoted member of the United Pentecostal Church in Edmonton for a significant part of her life, where she found salvation. She also actively participated in various church fundraising events, such as baking patties and other pastries for bake sales, demonstrating her commitment to her faith and community.
Sylvia and Errol moved to Cochrane with her stepdaughter Laverne and her family for the last 4+ years of her life, after her diagnosis with Alzheimer’s. When possible, she attended the Church of God of Prophecy—Renewed Life Fellowship in Calgary, Alberta, with Laverne and her family.
Sylvia was a woman of diverse talents and passions. Her love for gardening was evident every spring, as she diligently tended to her garden, adorning her home with vibrant flowers. She also found joy in caring for her husband and maintaining a neat home. Her days were filled with sewing dresses for herself and others, household chores, and church activities, often accompanied by the soothing hymns she loved to sing.
Sylvia's legacy will live on through her family and the memories they shared together. She will be greatly missed by all who know her.
Sylvia will be missed and lovingly remembered by her husband, Errol; stepdaughter, Laverne and David Brown; grandchildren, Jenniel and Bill Dingman, Warren Brown, Raymond Brown, Magen, Aaron, Brandon, DJ, Cheltina, Lana, Alexie, Enzo, Rocco, Calista, Dauraez, and Tasadie; great grandchildren, Olivia, Ezekiel, Alyssia, Gabriella, Adonijah, Braydon, Shenise, Jada, Jocelyn and one more on the way; sons, Robert (Donavan) and Sharlene Grey, Wesley (Courtney) and Colleen Warburton, Devon (Randy) and Miranda Warburton, Claudius and Crystal Hall; surviving siblings, nieces, nephews and extended family and friends. She was predeceased by her mother, Ianthie Plummer; father, Oswald McKay; and son, Winston (Andrew) Loyd Francis.
