Sibyl was very active in the Camp Fire Girls, and she worked for the county each summer of high school testing the water quality of the local swimming areas and yacht clubs on Long Island Sound.
Upon graduating from high school, she attended Earlham College in Richmond, Indiana, where she met her husband, David. They traveled around in the same group for the four years they were there.
