Sylvia “Sprout” Denton, of Emory, died on April 14, 2025. She was born on April 9, 2025, to Sarah Elizabeth Blakely and Johnathan Fox Denton in Dallas. In her short time here, she filled the hearts of her family with so much love and joy.
Sylvia was a feisty little fighter. Her family remembers how she would kick with energy and enthusiasm before she was born.
Sylvia brought immense pride to her mother, father, and big sister Evelyn. Sylvia might have been super tiny, but within her precious little body lay remarkable strength.
She is survived by her parents, Sarah Blakely and Jonathan Fox Denton; sister, Evelyn Denton; four aunts; five uncles; 11 cousins; four grandparents; and two great-grandparents.
She was preceded in death by her nanny, Shirley Cowley and Marquita Thornhill.
