1983 -2025

South Jordan - Katherine Suzanne "Suzy" Lindbloom was born on December 18th, 1983, into a well-established estrogen household as the fourth of five sisters, quickly distinguishing herself as the family firecracker. Blessed with her dad's free spirit, she lived entirely to the beat of her own drum. From the moment she arrived, she was a ticking clock-always moving, always fast, and always on.

As a toddler, Suzy could figure out how anything worked. She was bright, endlessly curious, and always funny. Once, after finding a forgotten stick of butter left in the car after a grocery run, she decided to test what would happen if she "buttered" the entire interior. The car was never the same, and neither was the family's trust in leaving her unattended with dairy products.

Suzy's humor sharpened in her high school years, especially when she was with her sister and constant sidekick, Jenny. Watching the two of them together was like watching a tennis match --quick volleys of wit, each trying to ace the other, and leaving everyone around them in awe of their hysterics. When they were little girls, Suzy and Jenny shared a room with two cribs. Later, they shared childcare, swapping kids back and forth with the same easy rhythm they traded jokes, errands and adventures.

Deeply connected to her mother in her early years, Suzy was known to sit outside the bathroom door and kick it repeatedly until her mom finished her bath, refusing to be more than a few feet away. She would write her mom little notes and wait on the porch steps for her to come home from the grocery store. Suzy inherited a love of music from her mother and possessed a natural inclination for the piano. Her teacher praised her talent and noted with a smile that Suzy seemed convinced she was in a race with the metronome. And Suzy intended to win.

As she grew older, Suzy became her dad's sports buddy, spending countless hours watching football together. Her dad seemed to be the only person who could calm her soul. His passing, when she was just thirteen, left a grief she never overcame. Imagining Suzy reunited and at peace with her father now, brings her family great

comfort.

Later in life, Suzy discovered what we lovingly referred to as her "investment opportunities"-broken Facebook Marketplace treasures she fully intended to repair and flip. And while some of those items did find new life, the real joy was in the hunt: the bargain, the story, the possibility.

Suzy adored her friends and neighbors like family. She called her closest friends her "village girls," and they came through for her time and again. In return, Suzy showed up with cinnamon rolls, homemade bread, and a snappy comment-her love language delivered in carbs and quick wit. Her neighbors often saw her outside playing with her children, tending her garden, or decorating her home for every holiday on the calendar, transforming ordinary days into special festivities.

Above all others, the love Suzy felt most fiercely was for her three children. They are her greatest creation, her proudest accomplishment and her deepest devotion during her brief, but vibrant, life. Suzy was the fun, unique, delightfully unpredictable mom who always had some grand plan or quirky idea set in motion whether they were making Swedish pancakes together or celebrating birthdays.

Suzy's passing leaves a tremendous gap in our sisterhood and in our world. She was a daughter gone too soon, a friend who could always be counted on for a laugh, and most importantly, a mother whose love knew no bounds despite challenging circumstances. While her physical presence is deeply missed, her spirit lives on in her beautiful and brilliant children-the greatest adventure she ever embarked upon. Their laughter, their joy, and their inevitable mischief will keep her bright, loving light shining for years to come.

This is my wish for you

Comfort on difficult days,

smiles when sadness intrudes,

rainbows to follow the clouds,

laughter to kiss your lips,

sunsets to warm your heart,

hugs when spirits sag,

beauty for your eyes to see,

friendships to brighten your being,

faith so that you can believe,

confidence for when you doubt,

courage to know yourself,

patience to accept the truth,

love to complete your life.

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Suzy is survived by her children: Knox, Wes, and Remi; her prior husband, David; her mother, Katherine Lindbloom; and her sisters: Jill, Julie, Jenny and Kristine.
