Sybil was born in Atlanta and moved next door to her future husband, Ben, when she was 8 years old. She graduated from Girls High in 1941, and also married Ben in the same year; they were married for 65 wonderful years. Sybil accompanied Ben to numerous BBQ competitions in the South Eastern region of the US.  In 1949, the two bought a one-bedroom cottage on Jackson lake. Over the years as their family grew, so did that cottage. As the children grew, so did the memories; digging holes, swimming, fishing, and so many precious moments. Sybil was a Blue-Ribbon holder in numerous areas, PTA president, but most of all, a great and great-great grandmother. After she and Ben retired, they spent a lot of time in St. Petersburg, Florida, during the snowbird season at their condo. Sybil was a member of Salem United Methodist Church. She held various positions on boards in St. Petersburg as well as in Conyers. She enjoyed Arts and crafts, and most of all, traveling in she and Ben’s motorhome to the Mid-West.
