Thomas "T.C." Rials

T.C. Rials was born on June 13, 1929, in Lincoln County Mississippi.

T.C. met the love of his life, Mary Sybil Daniels and they were married October 31, 1953.

Sybil shared her knowledge and love of Jehovah with T.C. and on October 29, 1955, T.C. symbolized his dedication in baptism.

That began his long faithful relationship with his God, Jehovah.

The outstanding example of T.C. and Sybil has led to a rich spiritual heritage which is a treasured gift for all of us as their children and friends today.

He had a deep love for Jehovah, and he treasured being used in any capacity to assist his family and his spiritual brothers and sisters.

He and Sybil made themselves available, with a great self-sacrificing spirit, in many ways. For many decades, T.C.’s responsibilities included

department oversight of meals for thousands of friends at District Conventions and Circuit Assemblies. We also fondly remember their

devoted care of making the stages at the conventions beautiful with many plants and flowers, many from their own yard and garden!

When T.C. wasn’t helping his spiritual brothers and sisters, he was busy taking care of their own large garden at home,

which many of us benefited from with yummy vegetables! Needless to say, he gave tirelessly of himself to complete Sybil’s

endless “honey-do” list! We can all still hear Sybil’s voice hollering out: “T…go out and get me…” any number of things.

The tears of sadness we feel now will soon be replaced with tears of joy when we see T.C., open his beautiful clear blue eyes, without any help from his shaking fingers.

At that time, out father and friend will have one job to start his perfect new life-and that is to simply obey his Father, Jehovah, when He calls: “T.C. …WAKE UP!”
