| To the entire Schwartz Family, We just learned of the loss of Sylvia and are saddened beyond words. We echo the feelings made by so many other people who were fortunate to have had Sylvia educate their children at the JCC on Peachtree. Our kids were in the best of hands by a Master Teacher who also taught their parents how to continue the process at home. Sylvia left a legacy of warmth, understanding, and solid educational beliefs that benefitted an entire generation of children as well as their parents. Sylvia and Fred were not only friends of our community, but also left indelible marks on everyone lucky enough to have known them. We are sending our sincerest condolences to the entire family. |

| I was Sylvia's Birthday twin! She knew me from day one, when my family lived on Zimmer Drive, as did her mother. Bobbi and Patsy would become my dear friends, as little brother Kenny would tag along. Lots of good memories at the Machers. where I would see the Schwartzes growing up. Fred's Deli, brings a smile to my face. When you walked in Mr.Shorts, would yell out...get yourself a pickle!
Sylvia, was an Icon for Early Childhood Education in Atlanta. She was an early advocate for Special Education! I was blessed to have worked with her in the classroom at the AJCC, as well as her being my director! She was an Immeasurable wealth of love and care, to each child, parent, and teacher, who was touched by her presence and knowledge in their lives! She was a gift to all in the community as well!
Most of all Sylvia, was the proudest of her three children and their families. She loved to share all about them, and their accompishments! May her memory be a blessing!

| Sylvia was such a loving person. She and Freddy and Ida and George and their families always welcomed me into their families and Jewish celebrations. I love them all and appreciate them so much. I always loved running into Sylvia and Ida when they were shopping together. They had such a special relationship. |

| I knew Sylvia way back before WWII when we were growing up and we had boys and girls clubs. We had parties at various individual's homes including Sylvia's in south Atlanta off Stewart Avenue. It was a fun time. I re-acquainted with her through the Jewish War Veteran's Organization with whom she participated. She was a wonderful person. May her memory be for a blessing.

| We will miss Sylvia as we have missed her beloved husband Freddy. We have been friends with the Schwartz family for all of our lives. Having grown up with Sylvia, Freddy, Billy, Jimmy and Denise, we have fond memories of the many times we were together over the years. My mother, Sophie Boaz and Sylvia were like sisters since the 1940's. We have so many photos and movies of the many trips they took together and of the Simcha’s they shared. Rest in peace Sylvia, your life was a blessing to so many people. We will always remember you.
Love, Danny and Marcia Boaz

| Sylvia was involved in my life from childhood at the JCC! She made a major change in my life, giving me a job at The Weinstein School in the 80's. I will always have a special place in my heart for Sylvia and be grateful to her for all that she taught me. She touched the lives of so many children and families. She and Fred made this world a better place! |

| Sylvia was a kind and intelligent person whose love of children helped shape our community. I remember many conversations with her at Hammond Glen. She recalled our children who attended the AJCC pre school upon our move to Atlanta decades ago. Always supportive with good advice she will be missed by many whose lives she touched. Our sincerest condolences to the family. Her life was a blessing.

| Sylvia introduced my 3 sons to school in her classroom at the AJCC.With her kind, warm ,and loving manner she gave my boys a wonderful learning experience. It was amazing how 40 some years later when she saw me, she would ask about them by name. May memories of this wonderful woman remain for a blessing. |

| A wonderful, kind, loving lady has left us. Sylvia exuded joy to all she came in contact with. Her life is a role model for all of us. How many thousands of Jewish children did she influence?
Rest in peace for a life well lived. |

| Always helpful and thoughtful to parents and children, Silvia was an anchor of the JCCA for many years. She was a wonderful person with whom to work and she inspired us all thru her dedication to the the little ones in her care as well as the overarching goals of the Community Center movement. And she did it all with an unfailing sense of humor.
As the years pass and we have the chance to reflect on what's important, we are reminded of the daily kindnesses and the simple accommodations made by coworkers who become friends. As well as remember, that to spend your life working with children, is to live forever. |

| So sad to hear about Sylvia. She was my first experience in sending our 3 kids to school at AJCC in the 60's. She was a great help in giving all of us a great beginning in education. She was so helpful & loving. In seeing her through the years she always remembered the kids. A very special person. |

| A true "Early Childhood" Educator!! I learned so much from Sylvia when I worked at the wonderful "old" JCC on Peachtree Road...Both she & Sadie Sacks ran a tight ship and provided a Jewish Preschool experience that was exemplary for soooo many reasons.
Sylvia was a composed, articulate, elegant LADY - always!

| Sylvia was my kindergarten teacher and my children's kindergarten teacher. She and Fred were lifelong friends to my parents and we enjoyed many life events with them. When I worked at Shackelford's drug store in the 60's Fred would always pile on the corned beef on my sandwich. I saw Sylvia, Billy and Wanda often eating lunch at Costco. Sylvia was a special person and will be missed. |

| Sylvia was a treasure in the Atlanta community. She touched the lives of so many children and their families as one of the innovators of Jewish early childhood education here in our city. She mentored so many of us who were on staff at the MJCCA preschools and always called us "her girls". I am so fortunate to have known her and to have learned from her. She was truly a mentor. She and Freddy were always so loving and giving and will always hold a special place in our hearts.

| I personally have known Sylvia since I was about 5 years old. My mother (Julia Boaz Jacobs) knew Sylvia from as early as elementary school.My brother Gary and I spent many happy moments with the Schwartz family. We relish the days when we would go by the delicatessen and pick up delicious food for our table. We grew apart as we grew older but Sylvia was always at life events, with her husband Fred. My younger children know her as their special parent. I hope that wherever she is she will find true peace. She is in our memories forever. |

| Carol and Michael Benator | Oct 5 2017 12:41 pm |

| Syvia was the face the JCC preschool. Her warmth and kindness to every child and family that walked through the doors was evident in the esteem with which she was held. May you be comforted in knowing that Sylvia was a treasure and her memory is a blessing.
