Our beloved Sydney Leigh Friedman, 63, of Houston, TX formerly of Brookline, MA passed away peacefully surrounded by loving family on July 12, 2024 in Boston, MA. She was the cherished daughter of the late Virginia M. (Scarbrough) Friedman and Jordan M. Friedman. The loving sister of Andrea B. Friedman, who never gave up on Sydney “Peanut” ensuring her safety and well being with unwavering determination and love until her very last breath, the late Jordana (Friedman) Price, adored Auntie of Colby B. Price and Sydney's dog Rex that kept her happy and walking.
Throughout her lifetime, Sydney faced numerous challenges and adversities, yet she demonstrated tremendous courage, strength, and resilience, always with optimism and a radiant smile. Her love for Michael Jordan was seen by her proud collection of Air Jordan sneakers. She loved all of Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston and Luther Vandross tunes with “Ben”, “I Will Always love You” and "Dance with My Father" as her favorites. Sydney was an athlete at heart, loved all sports and could water/trick ski like no other. Sydney “danced to the beat of her own drum” with a tenacious spirit, and a great sense of humor with regards to her own life. To say she was a fighter was an understatement in the eyes of all who knew her. While she left us too soon, Sydney's memory will live on through the countless lives she touched and the legacy of courage, optimism, love and humor that she left behind.
