Palm Beach resident Sydelle Meyer, philanthropist and community pillar, dies at age 97
Sydelle Meyer, a transplanted Manhattanite who embraced Palm Beach County and helped to grow it into a cultural mecca, died last month at age 97.
The prolific art collector who dedicated much of her life to improving the lives of others passed away Sept.
22 in Palm Beach.
She was known for her collection of brightly colored, thick-framed glasses, radiant smile and generous spirit, her son Bill Meyer said.
“My mother was kind and thoughtful, a reader, and involved, committed,” he said.
“She was larger than life.
Sydelle Meyer (nee Fisher) was born on October 7, , daughter to late Diana and Philip Fisher and sister to Marjorie Alfus ( - ).
And she lit up the room.”
A funeral held Sept. 26 was done to her specifications: Under no circumstances was anyone to wear black, Bill Meyer said, a nod to the vibrant attire his mother loved throughout her life.
“Her funeral was almost a celebration,” he said.
“Everybody wore color.”
