Sylvia Goad Sutphin 88 of Floyd, VA. left for her journey to heaven on Saturday February 10, 2018 after a long battle with Alzheimer’s. She was preceded in death by her loving husband of 64 years George Sutphin. She was the proud mother of her two children, her daughter Vanessa Sutphin Mays of Christiansburg, Va., and son Kenneth Sutphin and wife Nacol of Roanoke, Va.

She was loved and will be missed immensely. A sincere thank you goes to the nurses and staff of English Meadows Nursing Home.

To Vanessa and Ken, We are both sorry to hear about the passing of your mother. We know this is a difficult time for both of you, and may you be granted GOD's grace as you grieve. Know that her journey here has ended, and she is young, happy, and free with your dad in heaven. Bless you both and the rest of your family as well.

I had the profound pleasure of meeting Sylvia and taking care of her until her last day here on earth. I praise God that she got her wings, is singing and dancing with loved ones that have passed before and she is in no more pain or suffering. She had the sweetest smile and the cutest way of saying hello. She had also raised two incredible children. Vanessa with her sweet smile an amazing stories she shared with me of her mom; and then there is Ken. Ken is a man of few words, but such a man with such strength and love. I’m always here for you both. I loved your mom and I love you guys.
