Vivian Reynolds-Sylla
Vivian Jane Reynolds-Sylla, 39, of St. Marys, OH died 7:48 p.m. Monday August 31, 2020 at St. Rita's Medical Center in Lima, OH following a lengthy battle with pneumonia and many other ongoing health complications. As Vivian passed peacefully from this earth, her mother and her best friend, Cindy Stephens, were at her bedside.
She was born February 3, 1981 in New Smyrna, FL.
Survivors include: mother Jody Reynolds of St. Marys, OH; Brother Michael P. Schnarre of St. Marys, OH; Grandparents Paul and Joanne Winget of St. Marys, OH; Nephews: Mitchell Dew, Prestin Godfrey and Lincoln Schnarre; Friend and former husband Samazzi (Miriam) Sylla of Celina, OH.
Preceded in death by: her sweet sister Jessica Reynolds-Godfrey; uncle Brian "Hopper" Litteral; great-grandmother Clara Jane Kneisley.
Vivian lived life to the fullest, always sharing and giving. She loved to cook, sing and go fishing. Her passion in life was taking care of stray animals, often taking in and finding homes for them. Her loving heart, big blue eyes, witty sense of humor and beautiful smile made so many people laugh and smile. She adored her nephews and shared many good times with them.
Vivian never stopped missing her sister, Jessica, and it can only be imagined that they are having a great time now - "the Reynolds girls" together again!
