Cena E. Sichting

Cena Elmerlene (Todi) Sichting, 89, a lifelong resident of Morgan County and formerly of Wilbur, was reunited with her husband, Lloyd in heaven after peacefully passing at 10:52 pm, on Friday, March 7, 2025, while in the comfort of her home and surrounded by her girls. She arrived into this world at home in Paragon, Indiana, on June 29, 1935, and was the only child born to the late Charles and Zepha (Weaver) Todi. Graduating from Martinsville High School in the class of 1953, Cena worked in customer service at REMC for many years. Marrying the love of her life at the age of 21, Cena and Lloyd were blessed to share in over 61 years of holy matrimony and life's greatest joy with raising three daughters: Becky, Debbie, and Cindy. Truly the perfect pair, Lloyd and Cena settled into Wilbur and raised their kids in the Monroe-Gregg School District. Extremely family orientated, they instilled the value of hard work and shared in many hearty laughs. Holding dear to the childhood memories of the Sichting party of five, like frying up the day's catch of bluegill and pairing it with Cena's homemade blueberry pies. A wonderful mother, grandma, grammy, and wife, Cena was strong, adventurous, independent, and seasoned, with a great sense of humor and a sharp wit. Keeping an immaculate home and working tirelessly to provide and keep up to support her large and loving circle, she tucked into bed sometimes before the sun and her feet hit the floor running at the crack of dawn. Cena was a creature of habit and a woman who was as loving and loyal as they come. Passing her wisdom and values down through the generations, she was an excellent cook, preparing delicious Sunday dinners and filling her heart with a full home. Cena thoroughly loved nature. She took pride in mowing her yard, working in the flower beds, and canning from the garden. After retirement, Mr. and Mrs. Sichting were fortunate to get out and travel, taking the camper out West and down to Florida. A fan of taking the back roads and driving through the country until Lloyd was no longer lost, Cena found joy in stopping to check out the flea markets, festivals, and craft shows that could be found. Her spirit and memory live on inside the hearts of all who carry her love and with the new generations to come. Along with her parents, Cena was preceded in death by her soulmate and loving husband, Lloyd Eugene Sichting; brothers, Pete and Bill Adams. Survivors include her three daughters, Rebecca J. Fisher (husband, William) of Monrovia, Deborah K. Reid (husband, Scott) of Plainfield and Cynthia R. Ledford (husband, Tim) of Plainfield; eight grandchildren, Brandon Fisher (wife, Cassity), Jason Fisher and Cena (Fisher) Bain (husband, Coby), Emily (Reid) Elkins (husband, Mark), Sarah Reid, Jordan Reid (wife, Jordan), Ryan and Evan Ledford; nine great great grandchildren, Coby, Eli and Mia Bain, Annaleigh and Dylan Fisher, Rorie and Rhett Elkins, Makenna and Kade Reid; along with many loving nieces, nephews, extended family members and friends; and a spoiled rotten five-year-old mini shiatsu named Alphie. A Celebration of Life Service will be held at 3:00 pm, on Sunday, March 16, 2025, at Light Memorial & Funeral Chapel in Monrovia. Friends and family are invited to gather prior to the services with visitation beginning at Noon. Burial will immediately follow in Centennial Cemetery in Martinsville, and Pastor Tim Gephart will officiate the services. Memorial contributions may be made in Cena’s memory to the Shriners Hospital for Children or to the Indiana Special Olympics.
