Sylvia A. Tadeo

Sylvia Tadeo September 8, 1932 – May 6, 2026

With profound love and sadness, we announce the passing of our beloved aunt and grandmother, Sylvia Tadeo, on May 6, 2026, at the age of 93.

Sylvia was the heart of her family — a woman remembered for her endless generosity, warmth, and unwavering love for those around her. She made each person feel special through her thoughtful spirit and caring nature. Her family was the center of her life, and the memories she created with them will be cherished forever.

For more than 20 years, Sylvia dedicated her life to caring for others as a nurse in the maternity ward at Bellevue Hospital in New York City. She brought compassion and comfort to countless families during some of the most important moments of their lives. Nursing was not simply her profession — it was a reflection of her generous spirit and deep commitment to helping others.

She was preceded in death by her mother and father, Maria and Onofre Tadeo; and her sister, Catalina Baston.

Sylvia leaves behind many loving nieces and nephews, Jeffrey (Aileen) Baston, Maria (Rodger) Walker, Pedro (Anna) Baston, grandchildren, Clarissa, Marie, Alyssa, Noah, Colin, Harrison, and Peter, as well as countless godchildren whose lives she touched deeply. Her legacy lives on through the family and friends who were fortunate enough to know her love and guidance.

Sylvia had a passion for fashion and carried herself with grace and elegance throughout her life. She loved traveling the world and embraced every adventure with curiosity and joy. She also found great happiness in gardening, creating beauty wherever she planted and caring for her garden with the same devotion she showed to her family.
