She was 82.
Silver was discovered by a police search party around 11 p.m. Monday, Dec. 7, on the Burlingame hiking trail after her friend Deanna McLemore reported her missing from her home at the Woodlake Condominium complex in San Mateo. She was transported to San Francisco General Hospital, where she died due to the severe injuries she suffered after falling, said Burlingame police.
Silver, who retired several years ago, worked as a pioneering stock administration specialist and helped usher in the era of Silicon Valley tech companies awarding equity packages to employees, according to her son Reed Wellman.
Always thoughtful and passionate about learning, Wellman said his motherâs lasting dedication to her career is a testament to how much she liked being in the thick of things.
