Sylvia Marie Tolliver, age 89, went to be with her Lord on March 11, 2023. She was preceded in death by her parents, Clemons Joseph and Ruby Marie Winebarger, and by her husband of 58 years, Ira Fielden Tolliver. She leaves behind two daughters, Gloria Eiban (Bobby) and Susan Tolliver; grandchildren, Benjamin Eiban, Matthew (Meredith) Eiban, Emily (Randy) Jackson; ten great-grandchildren, and a very devoted family friend, Jo Schultz.
Sylvia was a great cook who insisted that you fill your plate at least twice and still fussed that you didnt eat anything. She took joy in preserving food from her huge garden. Sylvia especially loved babies and would be completely content rocking and cuddling them. Many sought her wise counsel, knowing she would always tell them the truth in love.
Sylvia will be remembered at a graveside service on Wednesday, March 15, 2023, at 11 a.m., at Sherwood Memorial Park, Salem; the Reverend Susan E. Bentley will officiate. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to their long-time church home, Mountain Pass Baptist Church, 2975 Catawba Valley Dr, Salem, VA 24153.
Our family would like to extend our sincerest gratitude to her Berkshire Health and Rehabilitation family who provided loving care.
