Sylvia Ann Blackman

Sylvia Ann Blackman, age 67, completed her journey of life peacefully on June 18, 2025.

Sylvia is survived by her sons, Ira Miller and Luke Miller, and his wife, Susan; her grandchildren, Lucas, Graves, Lili, and Madison; and great-grandchildren, Sophia and Luca.

She is also survived by her mother, Ruth Faass; sisters Blanche and Donna; and brother, Kenny, as well as her ex-husband, George Miller, and her pug puppies, LouLee and Charlotte.

Sylvia lived with a strong sense of curiosity and a bold spirit. She traveled far and wide throughout her life, and in her younger years, she wasn’t above hitchhiking to get there. She poured her heart into creating, whether it was through sewing, knitting, cooking, designing clothes, or sharing her immense love for music.

Her generosity was unmatched. She gifted musical instruments without hesitation, sewing machines, and encouragement, always hoping to motivate others. Her sense of humor was truly unique, often shocking and hilarious, and her lack of filter only made her more adored.

Sylvia was undeniably talented. One of a kind, she lived with passion and confidence, inspiring everyone lucky enough to know her. She was admired for her capability, creativity, and independence. She will most certainly be missed.

Services will be private.
