Van Delinder - Sylvia Van Delinder, age 98, of Kingsland, Georgia passed away peacefully on July 22, 2024.  She was born on February 8, 1926, and adopted by John and Anna Pica of Detroit, Michigan. Sylvia loved and served her Savior throughout her adult life. She met and married her husband, William, in Miami, Florida where they reared their two sons.
