Sybil McKeand Fore, aged 86, passed 29 Nov 2012 in Prescott, AZ after a long battle with Alzheimer's disease.
Sybil was born 22 Apr 1926 in Coleman County, TX to Robert H. and Violet S. McKeand. In Winslow during WWII, she met her future husband Derrick "Dick" Dixon Fore while she was working at a soda fountain and he was in the Navy.

In 2004, on the death of her husband Dick, Sybil built a home in Prescott, AZ, near her daughter Dixie Fore Irvine. Sybil moved into this home in 2005.
Sybil was preceded in death by her parents, her brother Roscoe and sister Bonnie, husband Dick Fore and eldest daughter Sherry Fore Parker.
