Born in Petersburgh on March 11, 1931, she was the daughter of the late Alonzo Grogan, Sr. and Hattie Grogan. Sylvia grew up on the north side of Petersburgh and was a 1948 graduate of Hoosick Falls High School.
Shortly after graduation she married the love of her life, the late Robert L. Crandall, and together they shared 61 blissful years of marriage until his passing in 2011. Sylvia was a long time volunteer at the Grafton Library, a job she thoroughly enjoyed, along with the many genres of books she could often be found reading.
