Sylvia Carol Baldwin, age 61, passed away on Wednesday, June 24, 2015, in Everett after a lengthy and valiant fight with cancer.

A season ticket holder to several local theater groups, Sylvia traveled with friends to Leavenworth each summer for 10 years to attend summer stock theater. She sang in the Boeing choir and toured with them to France, England and Germany. Winning or losing, she loved her Seattle Mariners.
