Sylvia was born in Danville, VA to the late William Ralph Campbell and Deloris Irene Setliff. She retired after many years of service from SunTrust Bank.

Mom’s love is unending, never changing, and always there with open arms. Mom’s love is like that of God’s, no matter what you’ve done or how you messed up, she’s there with open arms and ready to forgive. The only person who could love you more than mom, is God. Mom loved like God, forgave like God, and was always there praying for you. In her eyes you were the best at everything. Always lifting you up and telling you it will all be alright, just trust in the Lord. She trusted in the Lord, and he came through for her. Her body was breaking down and sickness and pain, but she knew one day God was going to give her a new one. On May 18th, she met her Lord and Savior. No more sickness nor pain. She’s singing with the angels and glorifying God.

Along with her parents, she is preceded in death by her brother, Larry Pawnee Campbell; aunt, Pauline Stallings and beloved dog, Friskie B.

She is survived by her children, Lewis R. Bryant Jr. (Amy), Teresa B. Flanary (Neil), Chris Bryant (Amber); 9 grandchildren; 10 great grandchildren; sisters, Brenda C. Wilkins and Melva Ross (Ray) as well as a large and loving group of extended family and friends.
