Celestine Sibley (May 23, 1917 – August 15, 1999)[1] was an American journalist and author based in Atlanta.

Biography

Sibley was born in Holley, Florida. A friend of Margaret Mitchell in the 1940s, she wrote for the Atlanta Constitution from 1941 to 1999. According to the New Georgia Encyclopedia, "Sibley was one of the most popular and long-running columnists for the Constitution, and her well-written and poignant essays on Southern culture made her an icon in the South."[1][2] In addition to her column, she covered Georgia politics along with many high-profile court cases. She also wrote 25 books, both nonfiction and fiction, including mystery novels.[1][3]

She covered the Georgia General Assembly as a reporter, and in 2000, the press gallery in the Georgia House of Representatives was named in her honor.[4] She won the first Townsend Prize for Fiction in 1982 for her book Children, My Children.[5] She attended Spring Hill College and the University of Florida.[1] She died on Dog Island, Florida.

Sibley's granddaughter, Sibley Fleming, wrote a book about her grandmother, Celestine Sibley: A Granddaughter's Reminiscence. (2000)

Celestine Sibley and Sibley Fleming co-edited a collection of Sibley's writings, The Celestine Sibley Sampler: Writings & Photographs With Tributes to the Beloved Author and Journalist. (1997)
