Sylvia

Perez

As the sun shines a little less bright for us, we gather to celebrate the foundation of our family, the leader, and the one whose heart was just big enough to express unconditional love for us all. Sylvia Perez was so proud of being a Scorpio, born November 3, 1959, to her glorious parents, Eliseo R. Perez, Sr. and Lucila O. Perez. Her daddy sure must be embracing her welcome into the Gates of Heaven where they will rejoice together in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father. November 19, 2017 will forever be a heartfelt day for us as it begun our lives without the love of Sylvia by our side.

Sylvia was always known as one whose advocation of others was so important to her. Her love of helping others was always so imbedded in her. She began her career with Rainbo Baking Company and eventually became a steward for those who were unable to fend for themselves. Like always, Sylvia stepped up for so many and became the voice of reason and hope; she was successful as always. Her determination and love of customer service inspired her to move forward where she was able to complete her education and begin work with Southwestern Bell Telephone Company and then on to AT&T, where she remained until her retirement. Through the bumps on the road, and uncertainty of health, Sylvia never wavered and even served as hope for many others whose lives were declining because of health matters. She was always able to replace the sorrow and sadness of others into joys of laughter, faith, and steadfast determination of never wavering and forging ahead with life as many continue to live it.

Sylvia will forever hold a special place in our hearts, as is true for the many others left to treasure her memory. Her brothers, Eliseo Perez, Jr., his wife, Dora, and their children, Bria, Ceyla, and Annika; Arnoldo 'Arnie' Perez; and sisters, Rebecca 'Becky' Perez, her children, John Ramsey and Krystal; Teresa 'Terry' Perez; Cristina 'Christy' Torres, her husband, Michael, and their children, Michael, Jr., and Cassie will forever be grateful to Sylvia for all the love, laughter, tender moments, and life lessons she shared, but we will always remember her for the resolve she exuded in staying strong, faithful, and hopeful when life just seemed to be pretty uncertain. Sylvia leaves behind many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends who she loved so dearly.

As a mother who cared for her daughter like any mother would, Lucila will forever hold the love of Sylvia in her heart. We are eternally grateful for Lucila's strength, love, hope, and faith, and as Sylvia would have demanded, her momma will continue the trek in life with all her children and loved ones by her side. A note of gratitude to all of Sylvia's health providers for helping her live her life as she did.
On a final note, and as Sylvia always held, she leaves us with peace and a little bit of love until we are all united. The rest is history.
