Hydeia Loren Broadbent

We regret to announce the death of Ms. Hydeia Broadbent, who passed away on the 20th of February, 2024. Born on June 14, 1984, she embraced every moment of her 39 years with spirit and passion, leaving a significant impact on the lives of everyone who knew her.

Hydeia was passionate about continued education and awareness, always striving to further her knowledge and understanding of the world around her. She believed in living authentically and taught us all, through her own example, that it's okay to just be yourself, in whatever skin you're in. Her central belief was to live your truth and to accept others as they live theirs. This lesson, amongst many others, has left an enduring mark on those whose lives she touched.

Hydeia is survived by an extensive and loving family. She leaves behind her mother, Patricia Broadbent, and her father, Loren Broadbent. Her siblings, Bryana Harris, Kalani Davis, Kendall Franklin, Paige Davis, Patricia Franklin, Shaina Colombo, Kimberly McCoy, Ronald Dishmon, Michael Dowling, and Crystal Smith will miss their sister dearly. Her nieces, Lambra Lamphier, Vaida Franklin, Xoie Ferguson, and Charliece Woods, and her nephews, Kao O'Neal, Kendall Franklin Jr., Syrus Colombo, and Alaric Colombo, will remember their aunt with fondness and love.

A viewing for Hydeia will be held on March 6, 2024, starting at 1:00 PM, at 1401 S Rainbow Blvd. Family, friends, and loved ones are invited to come and honor Hydeia's life, to share memories, and to support each other during this difficult time.

We remember Hydeia for her indomitable spirit, passion, and her ability to inspire others. Her legacy of love, acceptance, and authenticity will continue to live on in the hearts of those who loved her. She will be greatly missed.
