Sydell was a great cook and she taught us that food was to be enjoyed and well prepared .She taught us the value of a good education and gave us the desire to achieve and help others. She was a long time member of Sinai Reform Temple and pursued many interfaith activities. She taught us a great deal for which we will always be grateful.
We will miss her. May she rest in peace.
