Sylvia (Fasick) Pendleton of Plymouth MA, formerly of Waltham MA, passed away at home on May 7th 2020. Sylvia was married to Hugh Nelson Pendleton III for 59 years and is survived by her daughter Gail Pendleton, son Geoffrey N. Pendleton and his wife Rhonda, and grandson Shane N. Pendleton.
The daughter of Emma and William Fasick, Sylvia was born in Altoona, PA and earned her undergraduate degree from Carnegie Institute of Technology. She worked for more than 40 years as the librarian for the Heller School for Social Policy and Management at Brandeis University.
Sylvia and Hugh retired to a house with a scenic view on the Eel River in Plymouth and were fond of leisurely kayaking on the river and watching the wildlife and sunsets. Sylvia enjoyed painting the views of the river from the porch and invited others to paint and sketch the local scenery.
Funeral will be private. A memorial is being planned for a future date when circumstances permit
I worked with Sylvia at Brandeis for a number of years and am quite saddened to learn of her passing. She was one of the most helpful and team-oriented persons I have ever known as well a a highly intelligent and conscientious reseach assistant. I loved working with Sylvia.
