Obituary for James ‘Jim’ J. Sibilski
March 6, 1941 – May 1, 2023
James “Jim” J. Sibilski, passed away peacefully at the age of 82, at Ridge Stone Gardens on May 1, 2023.
We are saying goodbye to a man who was happy living a simple, uncomplicated life. His priority in life was to care for and love his family, first and foremost. He was a kind and gentle man who had respect for everyone and taught his children to do the same.
On Sept. 28, 1963, Jim married the love of his life, Kathleen “Kathy.” They shared 60 wonderful years of marriage. They enjoyed the outdoors and nature with the whole family.
Jim was always humble about his talents. He painted, he drew, and he carved. His creativity will live on through his children and grandchildren.
He retired from Reiman Publications, forming wonderful relationships with co-workers. His “Reiman girls” saw him as a father figure, and he took great pride in that.
Jim is survived by his loving wife, Kathy, and their three children: Joseph Sibilski (Kathleen), John Sibilski (Stacey), and Katherine Brumley (Clinton). He is further survived by his sister, Patricia Stawicki, and brother-in-law, Jeff Becker, his eight grandchildren: Jack, Alyse, Emily, Mary, Abigail, Andrea, Charles, and Mollie; nephews, cousins, and extended family members, and friends.
