She was predeceased by her parents Rushie Sullivan Weed and Albert Cornelius Weed.Sybil was a wonderful and loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend.\u00a0 As one friend put it, \u201cHer gentle spirit and fire for the Lord is something I will always cherish.\u201dOne of Sybil\u2019s favorite Bible verses was \u201cI can do all things through Him who strengthens me\u201d (Philippians 4:13).\u00a0 Her life was a testimony to this scripture.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Though confined to a wheelchair from the age of 12, Sybil had a fierce independent spirit; a determination that rivaled none; and a deep joy for the Lord that sustained her through life\u2019s many storms. Though our hearts ache to see you again, we smile knowing that you are dancing in Heaven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
