Keizer - Sylvia Perry, passed away peacefully in her home in Keizer, OR on September 26, 2016 at age 97 from natural causes.
Born in New York City, in 1919, daughter of Mark and Dora Haykin, Sylvia graduated from Columbia University with two Masters Degrees in Music Education and Special Education.

Sylvia first resided in New York, later in New Jersey, and finally in Keizer, Oregon, where she joined in business partnership with her son, Dr. Andrew Perry.
Sylvia received numerous awards for her contribution to music education from many state organizations including those in Oregon, California, Wisconsin, Florida, Texas, and Tennessee.
