Aubry Lea (Aubry Saunders-Pavlik) Suddath Obituary

Aubry Saunders-Pavlik (legally Aubry Suddath) passed away peacefully in bed in her sleep, in the middle of the day on Monday, June 12, 2017, at the young age of 24. Alaska -- her and her husband Eric's dog -- was by her side. She succumbed to her severe anxiety and depression and took her own life via overdose.

Aubry was survived by her (at-the-time) 30-year-old husband Eric, and Alaska, her dog, another love of her life. She was also survived by her mother, Kelly, and her sisters, Lindsey and Aly.

Despite the increasingly tough times often brought on by her depression over the years, Aubry had a vibrant personality, and had so much love to give to the world. It was always easier for her to express it for animals and things than it was for her to express it towards human beings, but when she did, you knew it was genuine.

Aubry taught those around her so much, many before they even realized it. Although it was tough for her to retain more than a few good, reliable friends and family, she made those she influenced better people and helped them grow in countless ways. Aubry's influence will always be clear in Alaska's good behavior.

Many eyes were opened to so much of the world that had not been seen before. She cared, and made others care, even during some of her most difficult times. Many who survived her are better people because of her, and many will deeply grieve and miss her.

Unfortunately this world is a lesser place without her continued presence, but so many were fortunate enough to grow because they knew her. Her influence will have a ripple effect.
