My sincerest condolences to the family for the loss of their loved one. Sybil was a very strong and independent woman and admired by all who knew her. A loveable soul. May she rest in peace.

I have many happy memories of Sybil. We once worked together and she was a good friend.
She had a way of making our office feel like a family and brought a lot of laughter to us all. Fun and funny, determined and extremely dedicated she was a one of a kind friend. She was a blessing to me as was her young son, Roger, when he would come to the branch.
Praying that the love of God and others sustain you now and for the days ahead. With deepest sympathy.
