She leaves behind younger siblings Michael Scurti, John Scurti, Linda Ford, and Maria Brine, along with favorite cousin Roseanna Bucara and many nieces and nephews.

She was a devout Catholic who attended Our Lady of Pompei school and church where she learned to sing and play the piano. She went on to graduate from St. Michael’s Business School in Fells Point. She served as a soloist for all the church’s events. Sylvia, along with her husband, who was also a musician, passed their love for music onto their children and grandchildren.
