April Lee Annette Sullivan
It is with sadness that we announce the passing of April Lee Annette Sullivan on August 14, 2026, in Edmonton, Alberta, at the age of 60.
April was born on March 14, 1966. Throughout her life, she had a love of experiencing the world around her. She enjoyed travel and discovering new places, whether close to home or farther afield. She found joy in music and poetry, often appreciating the ways they could express emotion, tell stories, and connect people. She loved attending concerts, going to the movies, and spending time with a good mystery or thriller novel. April also had a love of food and enjoyed sharing meals, trying new dishes, and celebrating the holidays with family and loved ones.
An animal lover, April held a special place in her heart for her pets throughout the years, including her beloved cats, Gyn-su and Mango, and her dog, Pepper. She is survived by her children, Angela Sudholt, Jessica Perry, Shawnna Varley, and Brett Yuzyk-Sullivan; her beloved grandchildren; her mother, Rose Marie Sudholt; and her siblings, Karla, Kurt, and Heide. She also leaves behind extended family members and friends who will mourn her passing.
The family extends their gratitude to those who have offered their support and condolences during this difficult time.
April will be remembered and missed by all who held a place for her in their hearts.
April, I still can’t believe you’re gone. 💔
We knew each other for 26 years, and when I think about all those years, all the memories, and everything we shared, it’s so hard to accept that you’re no longer here.
Lately, I’ve found myself listening to your voice recordings and rereading our messages. Hearing your voice and reading our conversations brings back so many memories. Part of me still just can’t believe that you’re really gone.
We worked together at Red Arrow and Stock, but you were so much more than someone I worked with. You were my friend—a true friend. You were truly one of a kind, April. Friends like you are so hard to find these days. You were one of the best, and you always will be. ❤️
You were someone I could talk to, someone who would listen, and someone who was always there with a hug when I needed one. We prayed for each other through the difficult times, and that is something I will always hold close to my heart. I will continue to pray for your family, that they are given strength and comfort as they go through this unimaginable loss. 🙏❤️
I admired your strength more than you probably ever knew. Even through everything you were going through, you kept fighting. You showed so much courage and had such an incredible love for your family and friends.
You taught me something I will carry with me forever—to keep going even when life feels unbearably hard and to try to find a little bit of light even in the darkest moments.
I miss you so much, April. I wish we could have one more conversation, one more laugh, and one more hug. Twenty-six years of friendship leaves behind so many memories, and I will hold onto every one of them.
My deepest condolences go out to your family and everyone who loved you. I will continue to keep your family in my thoughts and prayers. 🙏
Rest peacefully, my beautiful friend. 🕊️❤️
You were one of a kind. Friends like you are hard to find, and I feel blessed that I got to call you my friend for 26 years. You were one of the best, and you still are and always will be in my heart.
I miss you, April. I will never forget you.
April had a real spark about her and she always lit up the room! She loved all her grandkids and they had a special place in her heart! She loved to share moments with them, whether it was a birthday celebration or a soccer game!
Rest easy, April!
