She spent a great deal of her life travelling with her late husband, before going to live at Laurel Bank, where she is enjoying a new chapter of her life.
Laurel Bank is looking for people near and far to send cards to Sybil to help make this birthday into one to remember.
Whether store bought or homemade, they are seeking cards from all across the UK and potentially further afield to celebrate Sybil and everything she has achieved.
