Syvilla Ada (Wyman) Sukeforth

WISCASSET - Syvilla Ada Wyman Sukeforth, 83, a long-time resident of Wiscasset, went home to be with the Lord on April 2, 2020 with family by her side.

   Born on January 11, 1937 to Raymond and Theresa Wyman of Small Point, Maine, Syvilla grew up on the family farm with her four siblings.  She attended elementary school in a one-room schoolhouse and graduated from Morse High School in 1955.  Syvilla worked at her family's general store in Small Point, and as a bookkeeper at Shepard's Shoe Store on Front Street in Bath. She married Eugene Sukeforth on July 15, 1956.  Eugene's Air Force enlistment took them to Germany where they lived and welcomed their first son.  After military commitments, the three of them toured Europe by car before returning home in Bath.  The couple had three more boys while living in Bath and then bought a farm on Gardiner Road in Wiscasset.   In 1971, the couple established Wiscasset Lawn, Garden and Sports center which they owned and operated for nearly 30 years before retiring.   

   Syvilla was a faithful and active member of the Bible Baptist Church where she often sang solo and in the choir. She enjoyed music, playing piano, reading, painting, gardening, traveling and family gatherings.  Syvilla was a gentle, kind and loving wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother who enjoyed spending time with her family.
