Rose Hill Funeral Home
Sylvia Ann (Haggerty) Lavado, (84) formerly of Meriden, passed away surrounded by love at Masonicare on July 20th 2020 after fighting a 13+ year battle with Alzheimer's. Sylvia was born on October 1st, 1935 in Ilion, NY, to Francis and Gladys Haggerty. She was a graduate of Hartford Public High School, where she met the love of her life, Carlos Lavado. When she first saw Carlos, she said "I'm going to marry that boy". Right after graduation Sylvia and Carlos married and spent 62 wonderful years together. Through those years they raised a family with love, and it meant everything to her. She went on to be a manager at Trim Fashions for many years, but her most important job and passion was raising her family. Family was always the most important thing in her life, and she put a special emphasis on Christmas.

She is survived by her children; David (Julia) Lavado, Rosemarie (Joseph) Fleming, Susan (Erich) Kunst and her sister Frances Longo.
