Sylvia (Cohen) Amols

Sylvia (Cohen) Amols, 91, died in Hartford Hospital on March 15, 2014. Pre-deceased in 2010 by her husband of 63 years, Mervyn, Sylvia is survived by her daughter Janice Curley of Worcester, MA; daughter Lisa Amols of West Tisbury, MA; and daughter Nancy Gingras and her husband Brian of Eastford, CT; and grandchildren Adam Curley, Russell and Rachel Schubert, and Corey and Shay Gingras. Born and raised in Brookline, MA, Sylvia lived in Windsor, CT for the last 54 years, where she and Merv raised their family. They were passionate New York Mets fans and spent many winters traveling to the Mets’ spring training camp in Florida before health issues no longer allowed them to make the trip. Sylvia also was an avid bridge player and reader. She worked at several part-time jobs over the years, but as Merv’s job with Capitol Records took him on the road each week, her primary role was as wife and mother. Additionally, she helped countless people through her association with Gam-Anon, where she was a valued and trusted friend and confidante. At Sylvia’s request, there are no calling hours or funeral services; arrangements entrusted to Weinstein Mortuary. In lieu of flowers, donations in Sylvia’s name may be sent to the Windsor Public Library, 323 Broad St., Windsor, CT 06095. The family would like to thank Eunice Anim, who was Sylvia and Merv’s devoted caregiver in their final years.
