Sylvia was born in Franklin on Saturday, March 25, 1933, and passed away at the age of 86 on Wednesday, June 5, 2019, at the Franklin Health Care Center. She was a lifelong resident of Franklin and was the eldest of four children born to Andrew Lawrence Hoy Jr. and Sarah Moore Hoy. In 1959 she married the love of her life, Daniel Brumfield, and the two were blessed with three children. Sylvia was an active and longtime member of the First United Methodist Church in Franklin which played a vital part in her life. She was a fun-loving lady who had a wit about her and could often be found with a canaille look in her eyes. Some of her favorite pastimes were family gatherings, playing card games of all sorts, cooking, and watching just about any sports game that was on, especially her beloved Saints and LSU, of which she would say she was their #1 fan. Sylvia was also a people person who never met a stranger and would talk to any and everyone she met. She lived Christ’s commandment to love one another, as she loved all she come in contact with and was most definitely loved by all.
Her memory will forever remain in the hearts of her three children, Bart Brumfield and his wife Phyllis, Beth Brumfield Puckett and her husband John, and Brian Brumfield and his wife JoAnn; her three siblings, Sallie Hoy Paulsen, Larry Hoy and his wife Margaret, and Sarah Hoy Jackson and her husband John; two grandchildren, Emily Yesso and Jesse Brumfield; three step grandchildren, Jason Percle, Jeremy Percle, and Nicci Turner; one great granddaughter, Addie Yesso; five step great grandchildren; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, family members and friends.
She was preceded in death by her husband of 47 years, Daniel J. Brumfield; her parents, Andrew Lawrence Hoy Jr. and Sarah Moore Hoy; and her brother-in-law, Jim Paulsen.
Serving as pallbearers will be Jesse Brumfield, Travis Yesso, Bobby McDonald, Monty Taylor, Jerry Bourque, and Dwayne Hebert. Honorary pallbearer will be Larry Hoy.
The Brumfield family extends their heartfelt gratitude to her dedicated caregivers, Kathleen Molaison, Melba Maze, Delores Cook, Leona Crappell, Sara Hebert, Alice Colbert, Annie Boudreaux, Sharon Landry, Destiny Landry, and Ora Notsworthy, the staff of Franklin Health Care Center, and Amy with Heart of Hospice for the loving care given to their mother.
