CHURCHVILLE – Sylvia Joyce Adele Hawboldt, 83, Churchville, passed away Tuesday, May 12, 2020 in the Aberdeen Hospital, New Glasgow. Born on December 3, 1936 in Springville, she was a daughter of the late Mathias “Mike” and Lillian “Hazel” (Giddings) Legere. Sylvia was member of Springville Presbyterian Church, Springville. Marrying a military man in 1958, she traveled and lived throughout the world with her late husband, Bob.
