HOLLENBECK, Sylvia Elizabeth of Erin passed away after a courageous battle with cancer on Saturday, May 23, 2015 at the age of 67. Sylvia was born, April 12, 1948 in Elmira, NY, a daughter to the late Clifford and Elizabeth Goldsmith Jelliff.

She was very creative and loved her craft projects, gardening and an abundance of wildlife that she attracted to her home. She also enjoyed and always looked forward to touring on their motorcycle and attending motor sport races. Sylvia was also very active in her church and her community. She is already missed by all that knew and loved her.
