Obituary - Sylvia Sierra Hernandez of Moore Haven

Sylvia Sierra Hernandez passed away October 20, in Palm Beach, Florida.

Sylvia's laugh, smile brought so much joy to everyone she met. She began her career in 1986 with Glades County Health Department as a DCF social worker, health supporter and direct service aid for the Hispanic community for 12 years. 

She retired then began working for the Glades County Sheriff's Office in 1998 as a medical assistant and retired after completing 4 years. 

Sylvia had a passion to work with children, so she began working at the Moore Haven Middle High School in 2001 part-time, helping the special needs and migrate students. She enjoyed her time so much; she retired after 14 years as a full-time paraprofessional.
