Linda Sibbett Laughlin

Linda Sibbett Laughlin, a beloved figure within her community, passed away on December 27, 2024, at the age of 82. Born in Florence, South Carolina on January 8, 1942, Linda was more than a resident of Randleman, North Carolina; she was a beacon of light and support for many, embodying the very definition of a nurturing spirit.

With over 40 years of dedicated service in childcare at Randolph Church of God and as a Guardian ad litem in Randolph County, Linda touched countless lives. Her unwavering commitment to her work and her compassionate nature earned her the affectionate title of "Mother to the community." She was a guiding force not only for the children she cared for but also for their families, advocating tirelessly for those in need and the vulnerable among us.

A proud graduate of Randleman High School, she cherished her hometown and contributed richly to its spirit through her work and community involvement. Linda's warm personality and dedication will be profoundly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Linda is survived by her loving family, including her son Cricket Laughlin (Sondra), her daughter Tuanita Lindsey, her sister Sharon Baker (Mike), her sister-in-law Jodi Sibbett, five treasured grandchildren, and twelve great-grandchildren. Each of them carries a piece of her legacy, a testament to the love and guidance she imparted throughout her life.

She was preceded in death by her devoted parents, Rev. Earl Sibbett Sr. and Juanita Sibbett; her brother Dickie Sibbett; her son-in-law Kenneth Lindsey; and Alice Wagner. Their memories linger on in the hearts of those who loved her and in the stories they continue to share.

Visitation will be held on December 30, 2024, from 1:45 PM to 2:45 PM at Randleman Church of God, followed by a funeral service from 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM. The church, located at 305 E Brown St, Randleman, NC, will be a gathering place for family and friends to honor Linda’s extraordinary life and the profound impact she had on so many.  Burial will be at Randolph Memorial Park Thursday, January 2, 2024 at 11am.
