Sylvia Baba, 92 of Miami Florida passed away peacefully on Saturday July 26th. She was born in Philadelphia PA in 1933 and moved to Miami to attend the University of Miami. Sylvia graduated with a degree in Business Administration in 1956. She loved the South Florida sunshine and decided to make Coral Gables her permanent home. Not long after her family followed. Sylvia became an educator and taught elementary through high school in Miami until she retired 40 years later in 2002. She was loved by her students and made each one feel important. She possessed that special ability to make even the most defiant, unmotivated student strive to do their best through discipline and kindness. Sylvia had traveled the world throughout her lifetime and always took great care of the people and things that were important in her life. She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.
