Sylvia Jean (Antone) Silva's Obituary
Sylvia Jean (Antone) Silva of Makawao, Maui passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on March 17, 2023, at Hospice Maui.
She was born on April 21, 1957, to the late Richard Antone and Catherine (Oliveira) Antone. She was predeceased by her brother Wayne Antone and survived by her children, Riley Silva and Shaina Silva; their father, Charles Silva; her brother Ronald (Sharon) Antone and her sisters, Audrey Antone & Judy Antone.
She was the youngest of five siblings and grew up in Kokomo, Maui. She passed her childhood away by running through pastures, hiking through forests and catching fish in streams. She loved living her simple life upcountry and she never saw a Jacaranda tree that she didn’t adore.
Sylvia enjoyed spending time with her family and friends, the beach, live music, and all things crafty. She was a gentle and compassionate woman with a heart of gold, and she will be remembered by her kind heart and positive spirit.
A memorial service will be held at Saint Joseph’s church in Makawao on April 21, 2023. Visitation begins at 9:00 AM, with a mass to follow at 10:30 AM.
Following the mass, the family invites you to join them for a celebration of life luncheon at 12pm at Eddie Tam Memorial Center. 931 Makawao Avenue.
The family sends their sincerest gratitude to the nurturing staff at Kaiser Maui Oncology, Maui Memorial Hospital, and Hospice Maui.
