Sylvia was born at home in Biddeford and moved to Wells shortly after. She attended Wells schools until she married at a young age. She raised her eight children, giving each personal care and making everyone feel special and important.

In 1977 Sylvia married Ray Johnson and they lived in Kittery for 37 years. In 2007 Sylvia suffered a severe stroke that left her with complete dementia. Her husband Ray took loving care of her at their home in Kittery until he passed away in 2014. They enjoyed life together and loved each other dearly. She was continually active at Faith Baptist Church in Kittery for many years, expressing her faith in her Lord and Savior.
Sylvia’s passion was for her children and grandchildren. Sylvia is survived by: her daughters Gladys Murray of North Berwick, Ernestine Place of North Berwick, Holland Smith of Lebanon, Sylvia Healy-Knox of Wells, Sandra Clough of North Berwick, Kathleen Roberts of Dover, NH and Christine Valentine of Rochester, NH. Her oldest son, Roscoe Smith passed away recently in Orlando, Florida. Sylvia has 21 grandchildren, 41 great grandchildren and two great-great grandchildren.
