Sydelle, originally from Newark, NJ took well to being transplanted to Ohio in 1976, and embracing life with gusto! Working her way up the nursing chain, to Director of Nursing. Bowling, playing cards, playing Scrabble, anything that mixed thinking and socializing. Her membership at Temple Israel, testament to her unstated faith in tradition.
