    PENNER, Sylvianne (nee Forsythe) LEAVE CONDOLENCE

    March 15, 1938 ? Regina, Saskatchewan
    December 22, 2017 ? Calgary, Alberta

    Sylvianne Penner of Calgary passed away on Friday, December 22, 2017 at the age of 79 years.

    Sylvianne Penner was born in Regina, Saskatchewan. She was a member of the Saskatchewan Golden Jubliee Choir. While with them, she travelled across Canada and the Northern US on their grand tour. She went on to teach in Northern Saskatchewan. She met her husband Paul soon afterwards and they settled down to have a family, eventually moving to Calgary. While there Sylvianne took up a career as a bookkeeper for various companies before becoming a freelancer, keeping books for many people and small businesses.

    After retirement she delved in to her main hobbies of gardening and gathering genealogy information on her and her husbands many family branches and roots. Getting on to the internet in the late 90s greatly helped her with her research. She met many people online who shared her enthusiasm. She finally ended her research in 2015 when she decided she'd found all she could. Records older than the 17th century become scattered and less than accurate. Her yard became an oasis of tranquility and beauty with a diversity of plants, trees and bushes. Her vegetable gardens over flowed with abundance.

    She will be greatly missed; her tenacity and love of family carries on within her children and grandchildren.

    Syl Penner:
    It seems like the end of an era of genealogy study and research. In some ways, Syl was a one of a kind leader, in the search for family knowledge. Her information, and her enthusiasm for people and their history helped many find out much more about their past. I hope people know and appreciate the extraordinary contribution she made to many of us on our genealogical search(s)! We will have great difficulty making up for the loss of the passion and knowledge that she has left us with her passing! Rest in Peace, dear Syl! You will be truly missed as a wonderful person, as well as an enthusiastic family researcher, and hard worker!!
    ? Ted Evans, cousin and fellow family tree researcher
