Sylvia Craddock, 89, formerly of Calhoun County WV, passed away at her home in Springfield, Ohio on Sunday, February 21, 2021.
She was born in Calhoun County on April 30, 1931, the daughter of the late Lee and Ocie (Bailey) Hall.
Sylvia attended school in Calhoun County. She moved to Cleveland, Ohio where she worked at General Electric. In November 1955, she married her beloved husband Don. In 1967 they moved to Mentor, Ohio where Sylvia enjoyed being a homemaker and raising her family.
Her hobbies included bowling, upholstering furniture, candy making, and sewing. She worked at Magnif and retired in 1992. In 1995, she and Don moved home to West Virginia.
