Sylvia Jeannette Billingslea was born on January 20, 1968, to Erlinda Cortez and Dorian Billingslea in Detroit, Michigan. She moved with her family to San Diego as a young girl, where she lived the rest of her years.
Blessed with a beautiful voice, Sylvia loved to sing and dance and had the most vibrant personality. Her laugh was infectious and she was always the life of the party. She cared deeply, loved deeply, and always gave whatever she could.
Sylvia met and then married Michael Andrew Jackson on June 12, 2012, and this union
continued until her passing on May 25, 2024.

Diego, CA), her sons; Carlton Billingslea (Wendy) of Billings, MT, Jordon Billingslea of Spokane, WA, and Mario Billingslea, brothers; Steve Billingslea (Tiffany) of San Diego, CA, and Daniel Billingslea (Tonya) of Perris, CA, sister LaLenia McClaron (Terrence) of San Diego, CA, and 8 nieces and nephews.
