In a world dominated by artificial intelligence and chatbots, sometimes it's nice to reflect on the real people who pick up the phone.
Back in 2012, a new website called for an instructional video. What we got instead was three minutes of Sile doing what Sile did best: breaking the fourth wall, scolding callers, proudly demonstrating an iPad that could rotate, and somehow making "responsive web design" entertaining.
If you ever called Jay Peak, there's a good chance Sile answered. She was part receptionist, part comedian and a huge part of the resort's personality for years. We miss hearing her around here, but thankfully the internet never forgets.
Síle Mary Falworth (née Coyne) died peacefully on May 1, 2024 in hospice care in Murrells Inlet, South Carolina at the age of 78.
Síle was the life of the party. Described by friends as generous, open hearted and insightful. Her time in Montreal was highlighted by her many years in the choir of Ascension of Our Lord Parish in Westmount; as well as her time with the Montreal West Operatic Society. She loved Westfield, particularly her work at Jay Peak. To her friends she was a beacon of humor, flair, wit and personality.
