♥ ♥ ~ Aunt Sylvia - My Godmother ~ ♥ ♥
Sylvia was the oldest of seven children. Her birth name was Asimenia, but she legally changed her name to Sylvia when she was 13. She graduated from James M Coughlin High School in Wilkes-Barre in 1941. On December 16, 1944, she married Willie Wharton at Kingston, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. They had two daughters: Cora May and Jane Mary, who died shortly after she was born. She was also Godmother to two of her nieces.
Sylvia worked at several jobs over her career. Her first job was working as a waitress at her father's restaurant – The Faust – located on Public Square in Wilkes-Barre. She later worked at John Frye Shoe Company, Rea and Derick Drug Store, and the Westmoreland Club.
My Aunt Sylvia was a resilient woman. She lost her infant daughter at the age of 30, and became a widow at the age of 43. She never remarried, and raised her daughter, Cora May, alone - and outlived her as well. Her family is now reunited in Heaven - may they all rest in peace.
