Sylvia Jean Wells

May 2, 1941 — September 21, 2024

Lebanon

On September 23, 2024, the world lost a brilliant light when Sylvia Jean Wells of Lebanon, Ohio, passed away unexpectedly. Sylvia was not just a person; she was a true ray of sunshine, a beacon of joy who brightened the lives of everyone fortunate enough to cross path. Her radiant smile had the extraordinary ability to uplift spirits, infusing each room with laughter and happiness, no matter the circumstances.

Sylvia was a devoted wife to her beloved husband, Douglas Wells, and an exceptional mother to her cherished sons: Douglas Wayne Wells, Tim Wells, and Shawn (Mary Ann) Wells. She took immense pride in her role as a grandmother to Sarah Ann and Shannon Rose Wells, pouring love into their lives and creating precious memories that will forever be treasured. Sylvia also leaves behind her dear brother, Gary Turner (Carol), who will hold her memory close to his heart.

A lover of music, Sylvia had a special place in her heart for the King of Rock and Roll, Elvis Presley. Many afternoons could be spent in her company, where joy filled the air as she shared her favorite tunes, eagerly engaged in crossword puzzles, or reminisced about the past—showcasing her vast knowledge of trivia and interesting facts. And for a bit of fun, she found delight in playing on her computer, testing her luck with slot machines.

Throughout her life, Sylvia worked as a beautician, a vocation that suited her warm personality and natural flair. She welcomed everyone who sat in her chair with open arms and wise advice, earning the trust and admiration of so many. Her impeccable sense of style and perfectly styled hair made her a role model for beauty and grace, contributing to the lasting impact she had on those around her.

Sylvia will be profoundly missed, not only for her unique sense of fashion and style but also for her infectious laughter and radiant smile. There truly will never be another like her. As her loved ones cherish the myriad of memories she leaves behind, Sylvia will forever illuminate their hearts, guiding them with her enduring spirit and love.
