Together they raised three children and enjoyed playing golf and bridge with their numerous friends. She was also an avid gardener, and Girl Scout leader. Sydney was an involved and loving wife, mother, grandmother and friend. She loved going to the OR coast, whale watching and eating any and all seafood!
