Sydney was born on June 12, 1944, in Detroit, MI, to Raymond and Marguerite (Wilson) Craig. She married the love of her life, Aldrich Covert, on October 18, 1984, in West Bloomfield, MI.

Thereafter, she held legal secretary positions at both Ford Motor Co. and Ford Credit Co., until retiring in 2002.

Sydney had an especially strong fondness for dogs and particularly for miniature poodles. Her dogs were one of the joys in her life. Sydney also volunteered at dog rescue organizations and helped support several of them. She will be remembered for her laughter, always looking good and being very easy to get along with.
