SUZANA "SUZY" RIBIC, beloved fianc?e of Miro Kyjac, of Lethbridge, passed away unexpectedly, on Friday, February 5, 2021 at the age of 45 years.

Besides her beloved fianc?e Miro, Suzy is survived by her parents, Zeljko and Gorana Ribic, brother Mario Ribic, one niece and one nephew, all of Zagreb, Croatia.

Suzy was born in Zagreb, Croatia and came to Canada in 1995, first to Winnipeg and ending up in Lethbridge. She began a career as a hair dresser which she thoroughly enjoyed before she started to work at Miro's Restaurant in 2014. Suzy was very personable and friendly and many people enjoyed her company. Miro and Suzy began a relationship while working together. They both travelled to Europe and thoroughly enjoyed each other's company. Suzy will also be dearly missed by her dog, Simon, who she had for the last five years.

A Private Celebration of Suzy's Life will be held on Tuesday, February 16, 2021 at 11:00 AM with Deacon Frank Peta officiating. The service will be live streamed and may be accessed via Suzy's obituary on the Cornerstone website.

In memory of Suzy, donations may be made to the Chinook Regional Hospital Foundation (crhfoundation.ca)

My cousin suzana, inherited conflicts have separated us, we haven't seen each other for at least 30 years. In the meantime I have been to Canada and the USA many times. I'm sorry I didn't take the first step to find you. Rest in peace.

My beautiful friend Suzy who I met in nursing school, you were always a light when I would see you. You could put a smile on anyone's face when you would talk about your beloved dog in your cute accent. I will miss you and forever cherish crossing paths with you. The last time I seen you was at the farmers market at your little jewelry stand, you were so creative and fashionable. I'll remember our last hug forever, angel.

Suzy was one of the shiniest gems I have ever come across. Her fun-loving nature and deep well of empathy and compassion for others was inspiring and warm. She would always have me laughing - the world is certainly duller without her. Love you Suzy - I will honour you one day on the beaches of Croatia that you spoke so highly of. Rest in Paradise Xoxox

Suzy was a breath of fresh air, and a pleasure to know. We'll all truly miss her. One time, she made a custom necklace for me. I promptly lost it on the first wear. I felt so badly about it, and apologized to her. She just responded with a smile and a hug and said, "It's fine! I'm sure it will end up where it's supposed to. Let's find you a new one". That's the kind of person she was to the outside world. The ability to cheer up a room or a uncomfortable moment, instantly. Xo RIP

Our Suzy! You will be so dearly missed! You gave me the pleasure of the best summer I could have had! despite being coped up in a farmhouse sweating and busting our butts off serving, we were always smiling and laughing. I could count on you for anything, light night phone calls or a shoulder to cry on oh and don't forget our amazing karaoke days aha!. We grew so close this summer! You are a hard person not to love after all! I couldn't wait to do it again Suzy, the world shines a little less brighter without you around. I will miss your phone calls, and especially that beautiful gorgeous laugh of yours. You lived a hard life, you worked hard, now rest easy, and sleep peacefully now... I love you Suzy ? See you on the other side ~
