She was a very involved and well-loved member of her community; always eager to volunteer in any way that she could. She loved playing a pivotal role in the Mauriceville Crawfish Festival every year. Sybil was very active in her children and grandchildren’s lives, whether it was travelling all over the country for their rodeos and stock shows, or sitting front row at ball games, track meets, pageants, and recitals. She enjoyed spending her spare time crocheting detailed, beautiful blankets for her loved ones. She loved her family and friends dearly and her memory will live on through them.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Thomas Lee and Oeaetta Boles; and her sister, Diana Lee Boles.

I was looking at our senior basketball pictures in the 1964 Orangefield High School annual, Bobcat Trails, on Monday afternoon. I was remembering the fun season all of us had that 1963-64 season. We were regional finalists, one game away from going to Austin for the state tournament, but we lost to Big Sandy. Sybil played a big part in our team making it to that level. I can still see her get her feet set and swish the basket with her beautiful set shot. Sybil, Betty, Charlotte, Judy, Kitty, Diana and myself(Ann) were the seniors on that 1963-64 team. Later, on Monday afternoon I got a message from Kitty that she had passed away. The last time I visited with her was at our 50th high school reunion in June 2014. I came away knowing she that she loved her family dearly, and I know each one of you loved her and will miss her greatly. God knows each tear you will cry today and through the coming months and He knows the pain you feel in your heart with each breath you take. Praying that God holds you close and comforts you with his everlasting love. Love and Prayers to each one of you, Ann Burton Moore.
