Lori Kristine Sibley

Lori Kristine Sibley, 39, of Greensburg, LA, passed into eternal glory Wednesday, September 13th of 2023. Lori was born in Baton Rouge to Terry and Kolleen Martin on January 24, 1984. She was a graduate of Bethany Christian High School and Southeastern Louisiana University where she earned a Bachelor of Arts degree and a Master of Education degree. She was a member of Kedron Baptist Church in Amite, La. She is the wife and best friend of Jesse and the adoring mother and teacher of her five children. Lori adored all children and was a teacher to many, both as a vocation and a ministry. Over the years, she taught in public school, Sunday School, Children’s Church, VBS, and “Team Kid”. The hallmark of Lori’s personality was the genuineness of her smile to anyone she encountered. Lori’s passion was pleasing her Savior. Her life and gentleness reflected authentic Christianity. We are confident her faithful works will be rewarded. During the early days of her diagnosis, she tearfully reflected on the words of a song, “Whatever may pass and whatever lies before me, let me be singing when the evening comes”. How her personal God granted the desire of her heart! She kept singing through the darkest hours. The family is grateful for the beautiful tributes that have been posted and texted. Lori was preceded in death by her father, Terry Martin; father-in-law, Jerry Sibley Jr.; and aunt, Dana Sanders. She is survived by her husband of 18 years, Jesse; four sons, Levi, Ezekiel, Jesse “Booth”, and Silas; daughter, Molly-Jo; mother, Kolleen Martin; brother, Jake Martin (Emily); sister, Tiffany Glynn (Jamie); mother-in-law, Donna Sibley; brother-in-law, Melvin Sibley; sister-in-law, Bette Jo Sibley; nephew, Daniel Loper (Madison); nieces, Samantha Sibley and Emily Loper; and great niece, Sophia. Lori’s family would like to thank all of those who have selflessly given of their prayers, resources, and time in her season of illness. Also, we would like to thank the staff at Ochsner, notably her infusion team. In lieu of flowers, we request that donations be made in her honor, to your church, a missionary, or Lori’s church, Kedron Baptist of Amite.
