With profound sorrow and immeasurable love, we announce the passing of Synthia Jean “Syndi” Potter Eyre — beloved wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend — who passed away peacefully on May 28, 2026, in Enoch, Utah, after a courageous battle with stage 4 metastatic melanoma. She was 47 years old.

Born on April 7, 1979, to William and Linda Potter in Salt Lake City, Utah. Syndi spent most of her life in St. George, Utah, where she became a highly respected and accomplished Real Estate Professional. She was driven, exceptionally intelligent, and endlessly resourceful, with a rare ability to turn vision into reality. Whatever she pursued, she did wholeheartedly and with unwavering determination.

Syndi leaves behind her loving husband, Lee Johnson Eyre and his children; her children Breya Andelin, Bridger Swick, Riley Andelin, and Gracie Barry; her parents William S. and Linda Potter; her siblings William (Diana), Christopher (Kalli), Richard (Abby), Michael (Kyndra), Stacie (Spencer), and 23 nieces and nephews (who adored her).

Late last year, Syndi received the devastating diagnosis of metastatic melanoma. Even through immense hardship, she faced her illness with remarkable strength, grace, and resilience. During the final months of her life, she was lovingly cared for in hospice by her devoted husband, Lee Eyre, who remained faithfully by her side through every step of her journey. Lee and her mother, Linda, were her primary caretakers, surrounding her with constant love, comfort, and support throughout her battle. Her father, Bill, and her children also played an important role in caring for her and lifting her spirits during this difficult time.

The love shared between Syndi and Lee was truly rare and unforgettable. Together, they built a life rooted in deep friendship, endless laughter, unwavering devotion, music, and profound admiration for one another. Through every joy and every hardship, they remained each other’s greatest source of strength and comfort. Their bond was filled with tenderness, loyalty, and a love that only the two of them could fully understand — a connection that will continue beyond this life and remain forever woven into the hearts of those who witnessed it.

Syndi had a presence that drew people in effortlessly. She was magnetic, radiant, and unforgettable — someone who could make others feel comfortable, understood, and valued within moments of meeting her. Her optimism shaped the way she lived, and she carried that perspective into every challenge, relationship, and dream.

She was also unbelievably funny. Her quick wit and perfectly timed humor could stop people in their tracks and leave an entire room in tears from laughter. Being around her felt joyful, and the memories she created with the people she loved will be cherished forever.

Above all else, her children were the center of her world. She constantly reminded them that they were capable of anything — that they could move mountains if they believed in themselves and refused to give up. She poured endless encouragement, wisdom, and affection into their lives and was not only their mother, but one of their closest friends.

Syndi deeply loved music, travel, and creating meaningful experiences for others. While serving on a mission trip in Haiti she realized it was time to adopt the baby she had spoken of throughout her young life while listening to the hymn “Amazing Grace,” a moment so moving that it inspired the name of her daughter, Gracie. In 2011 she traveled to Ethiopia for 3 months waiting to bring her daughter home. She found joy in exploring the world, living in Japan for some time, and sharing those experiences with the people closest to her.

She also had an extraordinary gift for making people feel special. Whether planning a celebration or choosing the perfect gift, Syndi paid attention to every detail and always found ways to create something thoughtful, personal, and unforgettable. She gave generously, loved deeply, and served others naturally.

Her faith in Jesus Christ remained steadfast throughout her life and especially during her illness. Since she had a gift of teaching, her favorite church assignment was teaching the twelve-year-old children, with Lee in the Enoch Ward Sunday School. She found peace in believing she would be reunited with loved ones who had gone before her and those who would one day join her after this life.

Although her absence leaves an immeasurable ache in the hearts of those who loved her, the impact of her life will continue through every person she encouraged, every laugh she shared, and every soul fortunate enough to know her. Her light, love, and spirit will remain with us always.

She will be missed beyond words and loved forever.
