in Arlington, Texas, after a long struggle with a rare form of cancer. 

A memorial service will be at noon Saturday at St. John the Evangelist Catholic 
Church in Thibodaux. She leaves to cherish her memory her son, Norman M. 
Johnson Jr., of Thibodaux; daughter, Deborah J. Henning and husband, Timothy F. 
Henning, of Arlington, Texas; stepchildren, Lionel and Marily Owens, Ava and

who will miss her dearly. 

She was preceded in death by her parents, Dr. Maurice Lanier Mosely and Deborah 
Stone Mosely; great-grandmother, Annie Kibby; grandparents, Joseph "Jenkins" 
and Jeannetta Stone; and numerous family and friends. 

Sylvia attended school in Thibodaux, and decided to further her education. She

divorced and she returned to Thibodaux where she met and married Lionel Owens 
Sr. and went to Nicholls State University. 
To raise her family, she began working. She worked as an accountant for Michael 
Reese Hospital. 

Sylvia was a strong person and a friend to everyone. She developed friendships 
that lasted a lifetime and was so giving and loving. She gave it her all. She 
was known as the caregiver of her family and devoted much of her time and 
energy as a caregiver to family members, even when she was experiencing her own 
health issues. 
Her interests included sewing, gardening, and caring for her pets. Her charm 
and smile enlightened any given moment. The family wishes to sincerely thank 
everyone for their support and love during these hard times. 

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations in her name may be made to the Lafourche 
Parish Animal Shelter
