Sylvia Lee (Jolly) Trexler, 74, of Richfield, passed into the Lord’s hands on Saturday, January 25, 2020 at Bethany Woods Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Albemarle, North Carolina after battling Frontotemporal Dementia for fourteen years.

She was employed by Roses Discount Store, Delta Thread Mill, and Kmart. An avid learner, she enjoyed motorcycles, horses, photography, music, and travel. She never knew a stranger, even during her disease, she had a ready smile to share.

Sylvia is survived by her daughter, Zina (John) Risley; grandson, Douglas Paris Jr; brother, Murray (Myra) Jolly; niece Rhonda (John) Olinger and two great nieces; brother-in-law, Martin (Nancy) Trexler; and niece Felicia (John) Rossi.

Zina, Jeff and I were saddened today to learn about Sylvia’s passing. I know it was somewhat expected but I know it doesn’t make it any easier. She was one of the sweetest ladies I have ever known and she raised a daughter that follows her in life as being one of the sweetest. I know it will be difficult to be without her. I know that one day the sadness and tears will become memories of love and joy. I’m sure she is now experiencing pure health, love, and happiness where she is and feeling so blessed to have had you taking care of her and loving her all these years she has struggled. Sending you all our love.
