We Remember Sylvia
There are lots of good things about Sylvia that we'll remember. One is that she is faithful to The Lord and this church once she and Jim found it. That was almost twenty years ago. The very first words the preacher heard them say on that first Sunday when they came were: "We're so glad we found you! Last week, we turned too soon and were in a church that lived on the dark side of Calvinism!" (We laughed!) An so the pastoral friendship began. Sylvia had been a preacher's wife, so she loved music. And she loved people and pets, and she loved flowers.
Sylvia Annette Dopson was born in Westby, Wisconsin on December 13, 1935, the only child of Alton & Lilliam Dopson. She graduated from Westby High School in 1952 and attended college nearby. Sylvia married Oscar T. Holter on October 29, 1955, in Westby, Wisconsin. Together, they served churches in Kasson, Minnesota; Mt. Sterling, and Orfordville, Wisconsin, and Neward, Illinois. While in Mt. Sterling, she formed a Christian musical group called "Christ's Crusaders". Their sons, Dan and Tim, and three young women were in the group from church.
In October 1989, Sylvia married James Morken in Aurora, Illinois. They moved to Boynton Beach, Florida
in 1992. They found Royal Palm Church and joined.
In this life, little things are often overlooked but not overlooked by God. (Remember, Our Savior said, "Even a glass of water given in His name, was a deed treasured by God, and marked for a reward.") When the Church needed more storage, Sylvia and Jim surprised us all saying they would give the eleven-thousand dollars for a "STORAGE SHED!" Very few people would give money for a SHED! So, the Shed has a plaque and we all rejoiced in naming our shed "MORKEN MANOR".
We'll miss Sylvia. She was a Proverbs 31 woman and cared for Jim in those days when he was so sick. After Jim died, Sylvia still drove past other fine churches all the way to Royal Palm most every Sunday.

She loved the people. And she especially enjoyed the company of Carol Recht and when Carol gave up driving, Sylvia became her "wheels" to get to Sunday Church and Family Night suppers, too. And among her closest friends were Betty and Roy Wickersham who lived near her and were her "storm buddies" when hurricanes blew over Florida. She sheltered with the Wickershams "til the storm passed by".
On one of my visits, I saw she had not only the company of her dog but added two finche
