Christine Claire Suny

Christine (Lee) Suny will be remembered as a phenomenal and magical mother, a loving wife, a friend and confidant to many. She was born on August 23rd, 1960 in Williston, North Dakota to Raymond and Darlene (Brevik) Lee. Christy married Armen Suny in Denver, Colorado on September 26th, 1987. The two had three children: “Little” Armen, Maren, and Raymond. Christy loved her family with an easy intenseness.

Not only adults but children and young adults were drawn to her because of her warmth and compassionate nature. It was quickly apparent for those fortunate enough to meet and know Christy, that her inner beauty outshone her outer beauty. When the kids were growing up, we would often have a few extra children at the dinner table. Conversations at the dinner table covered all kinds of subjects. Her wit and sense of humor were ever-present. Christy made it so that our home was a safe haven for kids going through rough patches, they knew that they’d be fine to stay a couple days with the Suny’s.

Our home and our lives were enriched by Christy’s love of art and nature. With her love of fine art, minerals, fossils, and all kinds of other curiosities; she kept our lives interesting. She was a voracious reader and always had a nightstand full of books. She was a naturally curious person who had a hunger for knowledge, including more recently, a love of all kinds of podcasts (which she often listened to at full blast while we were trying to watch something else) ...she never stopped learning.

Christy was creative, silly, and funny, she could keep us all amused at any given moment. She was active and adventurous, she walked in the mornings with a friend all summer and did water aerobics the rest of the year. She did dog agility with our pug, went scuba and shark diving, gardened, rode horseback, fossil hunted, decorated our home, worked on miniature scaled models, and enjoyed drives in our little British cars looking for elk.

Lovely, lovely Christy, we lived a beautiful life with her; we will miss her but what she left us with...all of the memories, the life lessons for our family, the joy, the love, those things, that part of her will always be with us, keeping us strong.

Surviving Christy are her husband Armen Suny, their children “little” Armen, Maren and husband Thaddaus Huber, and Raymond; brother Marcus and wife Trish Lee, brother Tim Lee, brother Jim and wife Karen Lee, and little sister and best friend Ann and husband Steve Dorwart; sister-in-law Jacqueline Suny, sister-in-law Tina Carrigan, and sister-in-law Andrea and husband Carl Szczepkowski; and numerous beloved nieces, nephews, and cousins.
