PYLATIUK, Sylvia Lynne (née Munro)
August 9, 1945 — March 20, 2026
Sylvia was born in Merritt, British Columbia, on August 9, 1945, to Gordon and Gwen Munro. She died peacefully, and on her own terms, at her home on March 20, 2026, with her husband Lynell at her side.
Sylvia was predeceased by her parents Gordon (d. 1960) and Gwen (d. 2000); sister Marilyn (d. 2022); brother Roderick (d. 2024); and infant grandson Cai (d. 2007).
Those left to miss her are her husband Lynell; son Jason (Lindsey) and his twin sons Graeme and Thomas; and son Ryan and his children Raya and Dane; along with numerous other relatives and friends.
Sylvia was raised in Merritt and attended school there until 1963, when she moved to Vancouver for nursing school at Vancouver General Hospital. Sylvia graduated in 1966 and moved to Saskatchewan, where she worked at hospitals and clinics until she and Lynell retired and moved to the Kelowna area in 1997.
Our sincere thanks are extended to Dr. Lisa Nickson, the entire Kelowna Cancer Clinic team, the Palliative Care team, and Springfield Funeral Home.
A Family Graveside Service will be held at a later date. Details to be announced.
