We Remember

WILKE, Sybilla Eva
January 22, 1929 — March 7, 2025
Sybilla was born in Alfter, West Germany and passed away, at the age of 96, in West Kelowna, BC on March 7, 2025. She was married to the love of her life for 72 years, Hubert, who predeceased her in 2022. Having lived in Oahu, Hawaii for some time, it was her happy place, and she returned there as often as she could. She was an entrepreneur and through the years, together with her husband, owned a restaurant and a Delicatessen in Vancouver, BC. She had a zest for life and a quick wit. Sybilla was admired for her fashion sense and was always dressed impeccably. She will be deeply missed by her very loving family.

I am so sorry to hear that your mom has passed away. She had a long and vibrant life and it was obvious how much she enjoyed the company of her family. Sending my deepest condolences to Giselle, Christine, Morgan, and the rest of the family.
M, I was so sorry to learn of your mom’s passing. It’s obvious how much you love her and will miss her. Sending my deepest condolences to the entire family.
For me, It’s difficult to find words and difficult to believe Sybille is with Hubert now together – they were always incredible in their Businesses and strong with support for one another – they were together – like Teenagers.. always ready for a party and always ready for laughter – Sybille was a hard working an incredible women that had forever energy – She loved Life and loved her family beyond word that touched her heart –
She loved her miniature white poodles and without a doubt they talked to her when she asked.
I will miss Sybille and her ways of life that make her special when she’d drop in and surprise us coming from another Continent and all she’d say was Hello ? BIG Hugs to you Sybille.. Luv Ya ..NoniB
It is difficult to find words for Sybille’s passing and I think of Hubert with her now – they were like teenagers and loved to party and laugh over the smallest things and discuss their Businesses and support one another – I was lucky to know them both – they were wonderful friends and family – L
Love you Sybille .. I Love you Hubert and I can hear the laughter now –
Liebe Margaret und lieber Hartmut,
auf diesem Weg möchte ich euch mein tief empfundenes Beileid aussprechen! Unfassbar ist für euch der Verlust! Der liebe Mensch, den ihr verloren habt, wird in euren Herzen weiterleben. Für die kommende schwere Zeit wünsche ich euch viel Kraft und Zuversicht! Ich sende euch eine liebevolle Umarmung Marianne
I think of Sybille daily – and tears come easily, I tried to send some time back and found nothing but laughter when we were around – I was about 9 years old when I met Sybille and Hubert and we were together forever, Time goes so fast and then we have to try and let go when someone passes away but it’s impossible – Sybille and Hubert were one and they worked the whole day and nights throughout their businesses together. I send my sincere love along in this note and will keep the candles lit which they loved to see burning bright. Luv NoniB
