Sylvia Cornwall died just before Christmas after a short illness. Sylvia started her career in the monumental industry in the 1960s working for her family retail business in Shropshire and Cheshire. She was the third generation of her family involved in the stonemasonry trade.

Many will remember Sylvia from her time in the wholesale side of the business, working for Odlings, John Fyfe and Mourne Granite, becoming dear friends and colleagues with many along the way.

Latterly, Sylvia and her son, Daniel, had established their own granite wholesale business, S & D Cornwall in Suffolk, which traded for more than a decade before going into liquidation in 2009.

The funeral service was held at Hopton Parish Church in Suffolk on Monday 16 January, followed by interment in Hopton Cemetery.
