[Episcopal News Service]
Friends and colleagues at the Episcopal Church Center in New York bid farewell May 8 to Sylvia Howard. A prayer service was conducted by Bishop Christopher Epting of the ecumenical office.
Sylvia Marie Howard was born June 11, 1941, in Oklahoma where she earned a degree in speech therapy at the Oklahoma College for Women. She moved to Amarillo, Texas, where she taught at a center for speech and hearing. In 1976 she married Fred Howard and they moved to New York City the following year.
She first started her work at the Church Center in the telephone room and then the office of the treasurer, serving a total of 27 years. Friends remembered that she made a very positive impact on those who worked with her--and those she met along the way. In addition to her husband, she is survived by a brother, two foster children, 13 nieces and nephews, and three grandchildren.
