Sylvia Lynn Kondorf...
On June 8, 2025, at the age of 74, Sylvia Lynn Kondorf died peacefully in the comfort of her family home in Eagle Rock, Missouri.
Sylvia was born to the late Mary and Virgil Balding in Chicago, Illinois on January 25, 1951. She spent her childhood playing music with her older brothers, singing and hanging out with her cousins, rescuing stray animals from the streets of Bridgeview Illinois, and boating with family and friends. In 1985, she followed her parents to Table Rock Lake in Missouri and would spend the remainder of her life there.
Sylvia raised three children – Stacey Robertson of Joplin, Missouri, Gwendylan Quinn of St. Louis, Missouri, and John Zajac of Cassville, Missouri. Her kids, along with their families, were her whole world and her greatest accomplishment. She married Michael Kondorf in 2007, also adding three stepchildren to her family – Mike Kondorf Jr., Sandie Gill and Lorie Stewart, all of Georgia. Sylvia and Mike enjoyed over 18 years of marriage together.
In 1992, Sylvia graduated from Crowder College with a nursing degree and would spend nearly 30 years working as an RN in the Southwest Missouri/Northwest Arkansas area. When Sylvia wasn’t working, she loved knitting, playing with her pets, being outside in the garden, swinging on the porch swing, or enjoying a long, relaxing boat ride on the lake with her family. Sylvia was always very active in the lives of her family, and adored caring for and enjoying the company of her three children, three stepchildren, 19 grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren.
She is survived by her spouse, Michael Kondorf, her children/grandchildren, and her brother, Don Balding, of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
A memorial service will be held at 3:00 P.M. on Saturday, June 14, 2025 at Mineral Springs Baptist Church in Cassville, Missouri. Pastor Milford Baker will conduct the service.
Cremation arrangements are under direction of Fohn Funeral Home in Cassville.
