From her obituary, "She graduated in Nursing at St. Thomas' Hospital in London, England in her 20s, then, following Partition in India, joined her three siblings in Vancouver, B.C. Sylvia worked at Vancouver Hospital, retiring as head nurse specialised in Plastic Surgery on the Burn Unit. She married Bruce Woodsworth in 1972 and moved with him to the Sunshine Coast shortly after. Sylvia and Bruce were members of St. Andrews Anglican Church in Madeira Park. She became a force for good on the Coast, lending a hand with many initiatives. She was a pillar of strength for the local New Democrat Party for over 40 years. In the 1990s, she contributed to founding Spipiyus Provincial Park on the Caren range. She helped to create Christ the Redeemer Anglican Church by importing a building from Vancouver Island by barge. She was part of the team that preserved and donated land for Francis Point Provincial Park in Pender Harbour in 2004. In her late 80s and early 90s she joined the Pender Harbour ukulele group and continued to support many environmental and charitable causes."
