Sylvia Ann Humphries

December 5, 1944 - April 8, 2018

Sylvia Ann Sellers Humphries, age 73, of McCalla and Bessemer, was greeted and welcomed by her Savior, Jesus Christ on a beautiful spring Sunday afternoon, April 8, 2018, surrounded by gorgeous white and lavender azaleas in full bloom. Known as Sissy to family and “Trubble” to friends, she was a longtime Christian and past member of Hopewell Cumberland Presbyterian Church. A 1963 graduate of McAdory High School, she served more than 20 years at Medical Center Pharmacy and Bessemer Carraway Hospital. Her roles in life were numerous and varied: a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, daughter, neighbor, aunt, employee, niece, friend and caregiver, among others, but her greatest drive and joy in life was sharing the love of Christ through her thoughts, smile and actions with those whom she knew and loved. After a life well lived, she has reached her eternal destination that she has so often longed, finally reunited with many family and friends who preceded her in death, including her parents, Charles and Trossie Sellers and brother, Richard Sellers. Sylvia is survived by her husband of 53 years, Richard Humphries; three sons: Bryan (Kris), Ray (Layla) and Tim (Lindsey); grandchildren: Kylie and Trent Humphries, Allie and Anna Eady; brother, George Sellers (LaVerne); sisters: Shelby Jean Cox (Wayne), Nancy Allinder (Tommy) and Peggy Luker (Butch); numerous extended family and friends. Visitation with family is Wednesday, April 11, from 5:30-7:30PM. Funeral is Thursday, April 12, at 1:00PM, McCalla Memorial Funeral Home – Chapel, with burial to follow at Cedar Hill Cemetery. Sylvia requested that in lieu of flowers, memorials may be given to your favorite charity - one of hers being The Big Oak Ranch.
