Loetta A. (Sylvis) Ergott

Letty Ergott of Jersey Shore went home to be with the Lord, while staying at her daughter's home in Millheim, on Monday, December 9, 2019. She was born August 28, 1931 in South Williamsport; to the late Randall S. Sylvis and Mildred M. (Miller) Sylvis.

Redding, CT and Jersey Shore, PA. She was a volunteer at Danbury Hospital in CT and Jersey Shore hospital in PA. She was a member of Emmanuel Community Church for 38 years and served as a deaconess for many years. Letty loved her family and friends and spent most of her time talking, listening and praying with them. She loved to talk and would strike up a conversation everywhere she went.
