Sylvia A. Karcesky, 86, of North Sewickley, passed away on June 2nd, 2025, in Concordia at Villa St Joseph of Baden. She was born in Greenville, Pennsylvania on May 28th, 1939, a daughter of the late Kenneth and Esther (White) Groover. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her brothers, Paul, Jim, and Tom Groover. She is survived by her children: Jody (Kevin) Jennings, Kevin Karcesky, Jan (Paul McCarty Jr.) Riffle and Brian (Jennifer) Karcesky; as well as her grandchildren: Jarret McCary, Elisia Majors (Brian), Lauren Grinnen (Adam), Natasha Haught (Howie), Josh Bosley (April), Bill Hiler (Michelle), Ashley Haney (Brian), Jesica Campbell (Cory), Dylan Riffle (Lara), Dalton Riffle (Danielle), Madison Karcesky and Rylie Karcesky; along with her siblings, Anna Reimold, Debbie Sok and Dave Groover.

Sylvia was a long-time waitress at the Wooden Angel in Beaver County. She was one of a kind and full of spunk, who always kept everyone on their toes. She believed in living life to its fullest, and did so by trying new things, taking risks and finding joy in the small things. She found joy in baking, art, crafts, and bingo, but her greatest joy in life was spending time with family and friends. She loved her family more than anything.

Friends will be welcomed on Friday, June 6th, from 4p.m. until the time of the Funeral Service at 7 p.m., in the J&J Spratt Funeral Home, 1612 3rd Avenue, New Brighton, with Pastor Gary Hilton officiating.

The family of Sylvia would like to thank the staff at Life Beaver and Concordia at Villa St. Joseph for their care of Sylvia.
