Born September 5, 1929, Sylvia spent the last 25 years in Dawson County and previously resided in Ohio. Affectionately known as "MomMaw", she was a devoted Christian woman who loved flowers, gardening, Jesus and her family. Sylvia was hard-working, feisty and honest to a fault. She would always tell her granddaughters they were beautiful and compliment a handsome man. Preceding her in death are her son, Robert Ulysses Benson, granddaughter, Anita Faith Jones, and numerous other relatives.
Sylvia is survived by her daughter in law, Linda Benson of Dawsonville; 47 grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great grandchildren; sisters, Sadie Morrison Barnes and Sally Shaw, both of Ohio; nieces, nephews and other relatives.
