Sylvia Wislon

Sylvia Wilson was born on May 7, 1966, to Flossie and Calvin Wilson, Sr., at Cook County
Hospital in Chicago, Illinois.

Sylvia’s mother Flossie was God-fearing, therefore she raised all of her children in the church.

with her mother and other siblings under the late Elder Atie Montgomery. In her adulthood,
she joined Praise and Worship Outreach under Pastor Easter F. Goodwin.

Sylvia was a lifelong resident of Maywood, Illinois. She attended Irving Elementary and
Proviso East High School.

Sylvia worked at Lakeview Bus Company in Maywood, Illinois, as a bus aide for several years,
as she enjoyed working with kids.
