Sybil served on a variety of committees, and never lost her passion and love for our Lord.

Sybil loved to cook and play golf! She and Harold played golf coast to coast and spent the winters in Florida playing more golf, eating seafood, and walking the beaches. Cooking was a passion, she enjoyed cooking for others particularly if they were sick or home convalescing. Thanksgivings and Christmases were special for our family with the food being the main event. Daddy always said Sybil could make a meal from Robin’s wing.
