I had the great pleasure and incredible good fortune of spending a lot of time over the past 2+ years with my very good friend Sylvia Carnuccio. A beautiful woman, inside and out, Sylvia was always the consummate lady. She was unswervingly devoted to her family. She adored her late husband John, and cherished her memories of him. She loved spending time with her daughter Trish and son John, and enjoyed listening to John’s musical performances, especially his rendition of her favorite song, “Because of You.” Sylvia loved and was proud of her many grandchildren and great grandchildren, and enjoyed her morning cups of coffee in her “Nana” mug. An impeccable dresser, Sylvia could be heard in the mornings asking, “Did I wear this yesterday?” Sylvia aged gracefully, never complaining, always putting others before herself. She had a great sense of humor, and frequently could be heard making others laugh with the mantra, “Getting old ain’t for sissies!” Sylvia was loved by me and all who knew her. I’m grateful I had the great pleasure and privilege of calling her my friend. I will cherish my memories of her forever.❤️ Terri Keeley
My sincere condolences to Sylvia's family. I am deeply sorry for your loss.
My father resided at Artis, where I had the privilege of knowing Sylvia. We came to consider her part of our family. She was kind and gentle soul, and her warm smile had a way of brightening the day of everyone around her. I always enjoyed watching her dance-she had a wonderful spirit and spunk that made her truly special.
I would like to share a photograph of Sylvia with my dog from a day I remember fondly. She was eager to hold him, and the moment captured reflects the joy she brought to those around her. She will be deeply missed.

She was an incredible person and was a perfect maatch for my Uncle John. They were like two love birds and great role models
