Delbert Dean Sibert

Delbert Dean Sibert, 78, of Cheyenne, WY, passed away July 24, 2019 peacefully at home after a long illness with his family around him. 

He was born June 16, 1941, in Superior, NE, to Raymond and Mabel (Killough) Sibert, the third of four children.  He was raised on the family farm in Jewell County, Kansas.  He graduated from Superior High School in 1958.

Delbert wed Melba Bridwell September 5, 1958, and they had three children:  Monte Dean, Kelly Jean and Scott Delbert. 

He worked for General Dynamics on the Atlas Missile’s in Cheyenne and Nebraska and at the Ideal Cement in Superior, NE.  Delbert worked for Mountain Bell and retired from AT&T after over 25 years in Wyoming, California and Colorado.

Delbert enjoyed hunting, fishing and camping with family and friends in Wyoming.  He was scoutmaster when his boys were in boy scouts and little league baseball coach. His greatest joy was spending time in Vedauwoo and Elk mountain hunting and riding 4-wheelers.
