She would later marry Al Hochman, also from Hungary. She lived in Yonkers, New York, then moved to Florida and finally moved to Kansas City in 2014. Sylvia was a current member of Congregation Ohev Sholom.
She is survived by her sons, David (Judy) Hochman, Robert Hochman; sisters, Adele Wasserman, Edith Brill; grandchildren, Rachel Hochman, Audrey (Brian) Miller; great-grandchildren, Kory, Cooper, Colden, Kai, Kinley Miller and one great-great-grandchild, Ryann Miller.
