Sylvia Morningstar

Sylvia Morningstar, a beloved mother, grandmother, and friend, passed away peacefully on October 25, 2023, in Spartanburg, SC. Born on December 10, 1938, in Holley, NY, Sylvia lived a life filled with love, laughter, and service to others.

Sylvia was a woman of many passions, but her greatest love was her family. She was the proud mother of three sons, Greg, Jeff, and Jon Ballard. Her joy multiplied with the arrival of each grandchild, Jacob, Peyton, Dylan, Danika, Teagan, and Kaitlyn Ballard. Each one held a special place in her heart, and she cherished the time she spent with them.

A high school graduate, Sylvia was a lifelong learner who found joy in the pursuit of knowledge. She was a master of crossword puzzles, a skill she honed over many years and countless cups of coffee. Her competitive spirit also shone brightly during spirited games of bingo with friends and family.

Sylvia was known for her loving and thoughtful nature. She had a heart for service and spent countless hours volunteering in her community. Her spirited personality and infectious laughter made her a joy to be around, and she left a lasting impression on everyone she met.

Sylvia's life was a testament to the power of love and kindness. She was a beacon of light in the lives of those who knew her, and her legacy will live on in the hearts of her family and friends. Her memory will be cherished, and her spirit will continue to inspire those who were fortunate enough to know her.

In the words of her family, Sylvia was "a loving mother, a doting grandmother, and a friend to all." She will be deeply missed, but her love and spirit will forever remain in the hearts of those she touched. As we remember Sylvia, let us celebrate her life and the joy she brought to all who knew her.
