Sydnie Quimby was born in Laconia on September 3, 2007. Syd was one of the rare ones; so effortlessly herself, and we loved her for it. Syd’s passion for skiing was incredible, and she was doing what she loved most when she left this earth on Monday, January 16, 2023, after a tragic ski accident at Gunstock Ski Mountain.
She was a dedicated honor student at Gilford High School. After school you could find Syd enjoying her time with her teammates on the J.V. Soccer and Softball teams. Outside of school, she was a talented dancer with a beautiful voice. Her true passion was on the slopes, and she could hardly wait for snow on opening day at Gunstock.
Syddie was a remarkable horseback rider and was a member of the Northeast Six Shooters. She trained a headstrong little black horse, Mercy, all by herself. Her dedication and passion led to two State Championship titles in NH and VT. They were a horse and rider team that looked as though they were one unit, beautifully floating together.
Her smile was genuine; her kindness toward humans and animals was humbling. If you knew her, you know. If you missed knowing her, think of the best of the best, times a million.
