Sylvia Doreen Anderson was born September 22, 1926 to Arnold and Leona (Gregerson) Anderson in Omaha, NE. She joined two brothers. When she was 8 months old, the family moved to Elk Horn, IA in order to be closer to her mother's family. Sylvia attended school and graduated from Elk Horn. From there, she went to Nurses Training at Jennie Edmundson Hospital in Council Bluffs. Sylvia was so caring and friendly that one of her patients invited her to supper one evening and there she met Ivan Hurley who had just returned from WWII. Ivan and Sylvia went together and were married on June 8, 1946. To this union, 3 children were born: Ivan Jr., Tonya, and Kathy.
