Sibyl Davis Wright

September 8, 1923 - December 16, 2020

BRADENTON, FL - Sibyl Davis Wright, 97, of Bradenton, FL, formerly of Rock, went to her heavenly home Wednesday, December 16, 2020. Born September 8, 1923, she was the daughter of the late James Martin and Lucretia Wheeler Davis. Sibyl was a lifelong member of Ashworth Memorial United Methodist Church in Matoaka. She was a proud West Virginian to her dying day. She loved living on the farm with Kyle, canning, baking, watching deer wander out of the woods, the leaves changing, and the snow falling. She adored her grandchildren and great grandchildren. Sibyl was preceded in death by her first husband, Imer Calvin Sizemore, who died in a coal mining accident in 1952; her second husband, Leonard Kyle Wright; three brothers, James, Wilford, and Sam; and two sisters, Maxine Evans and Mary Jane Artrip. Left to cherish her memory are her brother, Harold of Aurora, CO; her daughter, Ima Jo Sizemore of Bradenton, FL; two stepdaughters, Jeanne Dee of Miami, FL and Linda Hawkins (Neal) of Beckley; four grandchildren, Lee Hawkins, Julie Barroso (Raul), Kae Hawkins-Beaumont (Brian), and Laura Roberts (Nathan); seven great grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews. This Christmas, “sleep in heavenly peace” will have a whole new meaning. A memorial service will be held in the spring. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in her memory to The Faith-Based Veterans Service Alliance (FBVSA), 12157 W. Linebaugh, #143, Tampa, FL 33626 (FBVSA.org) or to Tidewell Hospice in Bradenton, 5955 Rand Blvd., Sarasota, FL 34238 (tidewellfoundation.org/donate) Arrangements by Bailey-Kirk Funeral Home in Princeton.
