Sylvia was born March 18, 1961, in San Angelo to Martin De Santiago and Carolina Guardarrama Hernandez.

Sylvia could be described as “Ms. Santa Claus” because she did everything in her power to provide for her family, especially her nieces and nephews, who she thought of as her own children. She cherished her family and enjoyed cooking and spending as much time with them as possible. She was also very generous and caring woman who loved to devote her time and resources to the Mexico Missions. Sylvia attended Temple Jerusalem Assembly of God Church.

For over forty years and until she became ill Sylvia worked as the unit clerk in ICU at Shannon Medical. She loved her job and her co-workers, who she considered family.

Sylvia was preceded in death by her parents.

She is survived by her siblings, Bertha Lopez and her husband Efrain of San Angelo, Emilia Ramirez and her husband Daniel of San Angelo, Angelica Luna and her husband Samuel of San Antonio, Martin G. Hernandez and his wife Rita of San Angelo and Orlando G. Hernandez and his wife Marsha of San Antonio; her many numerous loving nieces and nephews; and her Shannon work family.

The family would like to extend a special thank you to her niece, Iris Lopez who cared for her and to Ruby whose friendship meant the world to Sylvia.
