Listen to Obituary

Our beloved wife, mother, mumu and friend passed away on April 22, 2025. The youngest child of 11, Sinikka was born on March 30,1950 to Laina and Erkki Passila in Kauhava, Finland.

Sinikka was well-lived and with few regrets. She hated practical jokes, but loved true, uninhibited banter and laughter. She loved deeply and served fervently to her last breath. Her immense beauty and radiance will be deeply missed.

Her untimely death was preceded by the departure of her loving and exceedingly good looking first husband Andrew Gorham. She leaves behind Don Brady, her astoundingly good looking second husband, her children, Toph Gorham and Pauliina Greaves (Wesley), her stepchildren, Parrish Brady, Lauren Brady and Terrel Brady, her grandchildren, Fa Gorham, Mia Gorham, Oliviia Greaves, Mars Gorham and step-grandchild Sam Brady, whom all loved her dearly and will never forget her tenacity, wit, charm, grace, love and everlasting adoration for them.

A visitation will be held in her honor on Wednesday, April 30, from 10:00 to 11:15 am followed by the funeral services beginning at 11:30 am - all events will be held at the LDS Wasatch 3rd Ward, 2215 East Roosevelt Avenue, Salt Lake City, Utah 84108

Interment will be at the Larkin Sunset Lawn, 2350 East 1300 South, Salt Lake City, Utah 84108
