Meet Sylvia, a dedicated member of her community and the Vice-Chair of the Olds HealthCare Fundraising Committee. Her journey with the committee began when she was invited to help organize the inaugural Barn Dance Event, an experience that sparked a deep-seated passion for serving the community she cherishes.
Sylvia has a rich background in healthcare, having retired from Alberta Health Services where she built her career in Health Information Management. Her professional path began in 1977 at the Drumheller General Hospital, where she spent a decade honing her skills. In 1988, her family relocated to the vibrant Olds area, and Sylvia took on a pivotal role at the Olds Hospital and Care Centre, where she worked tirelessly for over thirty years. She continued to contribute her expertise as a casual relief worker until her well-deserved retirement in 2023.
Beyond her impressive career, Sylvia is a one of many talents and interests. She generously volunteers her time at the Mountain View Food Bank, aiding those in need and giving back to the community that has given her so much. She is also a proud grandmother, often found enthusiastically cheering for her grandson during his hockey games. In her personal time, Sylvia pursues her love of travel, exploring new places and cultures. She finds joy in nurturing her garden, cultivating beautiful plants, and creating unique handicrafts that showcase her creativity. Her life is a tapestry woven with threads of service, family, and personal passions, making her a truly remarkable individual in her community.
