She attended California State Teacher’s College, graduating with a degree in Early Childhood Education.

For over fifty years, Sylvia was an avid tennis player, sometimes taking to the courts four times a week. She especially loved playing doubles tennis. She was a fierce competitor and strong woman who supported her family in all their endeavors.
Married for over sixty years to Donald F. DiMarco (deceased 2020), she had one daughter, Danette DiMarco, and one grandson, Harold S. Domville. She and Don nurtured lives in both Allison Park, PA and Muddy Creek Township, Butler County, cultivating their properties as flower garden havens.
