A very warm, heart felt expression of our love for Sybil. Prayers continue for her and her family and close friends. Sybil Will Be Remembered.
Love and Prayers,
Jeff and Bettie

I send my condolences to Sybil's Family. I have designed an angel pin in her memory, requested by a friend of the family. My prayers are with your family as you get through this difficult time.

Even though we barely knew Sybil we feel like we have lost a friend
Her sister Norma is very dear to us and we know that she will miss her very much. Our thoughts and prayers are with Norma and the rest of the family.

Sybil lived, loved and died with the no-nonsense style, warmth and faith she embodied all the 28 years I knew her.

I know now, as I did while at Virginia, that Sybil's friendship was a gift I could never take lightly; individuals like her are sprinkled on this planet, but in limited quantity.

I have never laughed quite as hard as I did when with David Lane or Phil Katz and Sybil. Our times together were glorious and magical. She loved her boys and I was happy to be along for...

Sybil Todd understood students and higher education so deeply that it seemed to be in her blood; I can't begin to count the number of students from Virginia, Utah, and Alabama, especially, who would say that she not only inspired them, but helped guide a major redirection and transformation in their lives, She was a magnificent teacher, a marvelous friend, and an extraordinary mentor.

Our prayers are with the family and friends.

My dearest friend- Sybil, was always there for me all these 54 years. She was a light for me and my family. My children think of her as their Aunt Sybil. We had so much fun together all through the years. Laughing was one of our favorite things to do. I will miss our late night calls and recalling all the fun we had in Junior High and High School in Amarillo. Our singing days were so very special and "we were good". Sybil's whole family treated me as one of their own. This is a...

"Precious Memories" flood my soul when I think about Sybil. She was a good and true friend from the early days at Nixson JH in Amarillo to the present. I had many good times gathered at the Todd home where her family played a vital role in my informative years. Her Dad's prayers with us and her Mom humming hymns in the kitchen are a special memory. Sybil came from strong, good people. She "came by it honestly", but forged her own unique personality admirably. She truly had eyes to perceive my...

Sybil proved that one person can make a difference. She had so many gifts but I particularly remember her ability to make each person feel special and want to be the best we could be as well as her ability to use humor to illustrate a point or lighten a difficult situation. My love goes out of all of her family and circle of friends. I am so grateful to have known her and hope we can all carry her incredible light forward.
