In loving memory of Sylvia Leveridge who sadly passed away on 30th November 2024.
Loving wife to Eric, and mother to Mary and Elaine, Sylvia had lived and worked in Nottingham for the past 65 years.
A talented musician, Sylvia was known as a teacher and performer of singing, and possessed a wonderful soprano voice.
For the past 40 years she was perhaps better known as the proprietor of the legendary 'Hardings Dancewear ' shop on Mansfield Road, an institution that she ran with her trusted team until she was 95 years old.
Sylvia died at the age of 97. A celebration of her life will take place at St Giles Church in West Bridgford at 11am on 14th January 2025 followed by cremation at Wilford Hill. Family flowers only please but donations can be made to Alzheimers Disease Society. Dress code is anything but black!

Lee Cunnison donated £50 in memory of Sylvia

An amazing lady to know and have as a neighbour for 23 years. We enjoyed many ‘over the hedge’ conversations with Sylvia and Eric when our children were small and shared some memorable Christmas dinners (and games!) over the years. Sylvia will be very fondly remembered by us at number 71 and our wider family as well.

  • Thank you, Pitman, for posting your memories of Sylvia and indeed Eric. Thank you also for coming to Mum's funeral. She would have been so pleased that you remembered her.
