The passing of Sylvia Mendez (Oklahoma City, Oklahoma) leaves a void in the hearts of many, as we bid farewell to a loving soul who departed on September 27, 2024 at the age of 81. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Sylvia Mendez to show support.

As Sylvia departs from this earthly realm, her essence lingers — a whisper on the wind, a ripple on the water — a testament to the enduring power of love to transcend the boundaries of life and death. Though Sylvia may no longer walk beside us, her spirit lives on in the memories and the legacy Sylvia leaves behind.

She is survived by: her husband Tino Mendez; her daughters, Alexandra Kelley (Joe) and Tina Rogers (Phil Dodd); her granddaughters, Emma Rogers and Francesca Kelley; and her siblings, Leyda Haley, Maria Wallace, Acela Paliotta of Dallas, Belinda Hernandez of Dallas and Jose Hernandez of Dallas. She is also survived by several other family members and friends.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to Catholic Charities (https://www.catholiccharitiesok.org).
