In Memory
This eternal flame burns forever
in remembrance of Sylvia Milam Traylor
Sylvia Milam Traylor
August 22, 1935 - April 6, 2025
Sylvia Milam Traylor, age 89, of
Smackover, Arkansas, entered her heavenly home on
Sunday, April 6, 2025. She was born
August 22, 1935 in Junction City, Arkansas to
the late Lawrence and Zelma Milam. Sylvia was
predeceased by a sister, Melwyn
Cox.
Sylvia is survived
and missed by the love of her life, Don Traylor. They
were married
50 years. There was nothing she enjoyed
more than traveling with Don, whether it
be to build a church or just enjoying life. They had a love for camping and took many
trips together.
She is also survived by her sons, Mark
Corley (Tonya) and Tim Corley, (Cheryl). Sylvia
loved being "Grandmother or
Gran", and she also is survived by four grandchildren
and eight great-grandchildren. Her
grandchildren are Kevin Corley (Jana), Brian
Corley, Ashley Hendricks (Brandon) and
Haley Gee (Phillip). She adored her great-
grandchildren, Luke and Grant Corley,
Aubrey and Brynlee Hendricks, Riley, Rhett,
Cohen and Traylor Gee. We would like to
extend our heartfelt gratitude to the other
members of her family, her caregivers
for the past two years: Frances Ganter,
Charlene Minor, Brittney Minor, Samantha
Davis, Cindy Williams and Lois Moses.
Sylvia loved the Lord. She taught Sunday
School and attended First Baptist Church
in Smackover. She and Don were members
of lay renewal teams and built churches
in several states as members of Master
Builders and Bethel Builders. Family dinners
and get-togethers for holidays and any
occasion delighted her as long as it included
lots of family members. Sylvia also
enjoyed her weekly Scrabble games with her
close friends while they all could still
meet together.
Sylvia's funeral service will be held at
11:00 a.m. Friday, April 11, 2025 at First
Baptist Church in Smackover with Bro.
Carley Davis with graveside services
following at Smackover Cemetery.
Visitation will begin at 10:00 a.m. prior to the
service.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be
made to First Baptist Church.
Though She's gone, She is not forgotten.
Though absent, She remains in spirit.
Though once a worker, She now rests.
