Sylvia Vogel, Age 93

Sylvia Vogel started her career at PS 105 in Brooklyn. She was well-respected by her colleagues and known for her ability to respectfully handle discipline problems when others couldn't. Sylvia ended her career as a guidance counselor at PS 200 in Brooklyn after over 20 years of teaching. She was very proud to be a UFT, NYSUT and AFT member and it thrilled her that her daughter and her grandson followed in her footsteps. She was a lifetime learner, avid reader, crocheted and kept in touch with former colleagues through letters. Sylvia is survived by her daughter, Ilene Moore, a UFT retiree also from PS 200, and her son-in-law, Fred, along with two grandchildren, Kate Taylor Moore and Jeffrey Ian Moore.
