Sydney Maree Carroll

Sydney Maree Carroll, 25, gained her angel wings on September 19, 2026, surrounded by her loving family.

Sydney was born on April 21, 2001 in Aurora, CO. She attended schools throughout Colorado and earned her high school diploma from East High School in Denver.

After high school, Syndey held several jobs, but her favorite was working as a paraprofessional with special needs children in Denver Public Schools. She loved having the opportunity to work with and support the children in her care.

Sydney was born with neurofibromatosis (NF) which presented her with significant challenges throughout her life. Those challenges, however, never took away the spirit, sass, and determination that made Sydney who she was. She also never hesitated to educate others about NF while also reminding them that her diagnosis did not define her.

Anyone who knew Sydney knew she had plenty of personality. She was sweet, sassy, and remarkably good at convincing people to do just about anything she wanted. Despite using a wheelchair, Sydney loved to dance and was never one to let someone else’s expectations determine how she enjoyed life.

One of the most important companions of Sydney’s life was her service animal, Kyler. He was not only her service dog but her constant companion and an incredibly special part of her life that went through thick and thin with her.

Sydney will be remembered for her resilience, her unmistakable personality, her sweetness, spice, and the way she found joy in the things she loved.

Her life was shaped by challenges many people will never experience, but those challenges were only one part of her story. Above all, Sydney was a beloved daughter, sister, granddaughter, niece, cousin, and friend who leaves behind a family who will miss her tremendously.

She is preceded in death by her grandpa, Roy Bruce.

Survivors include her mother, Susan Bruce; father, Jason (Theresa Wiggins) Carroll; brothers, Andrew and Colter (Jordan) Carroll; grandparents, Evelyn Bruce, Anne Christian, Steve Christian, Tom Carroll, and Marilyn Baldwin; uncles, John(Holly), Gary, Tom (Gail), Danny (Sarah), and Steven; numerous cousins, extended family and other that were touched by Sydney.

Sydney’s time here was far too short, but the personality, memories, and love she leaves behind will remain with those who knew her.

Funeral service will be held Friday, October 2, at 2:00 pm at Asper/Pondera Funeral Home in Conrad.
