Suzi Calderon Bellman

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Suzi Calderon Bellman on Nov. 18, 2024, at the age of 64. She was born on July 6, 1960.

Suzi was preceded in death by her beloved husband Rocky Bellman, and her devoted parents Jack and Dee Calderon.

She is survived by her siblings Martha (Mike) Vieira, Mary (Steve) Carbajal, Ann (James) Schroeder, Betty (Ray) Ramos, John, Joe, Chuck, and Daniel (Kelli), along with numerous nieces and nephews.

Suzi was a passionate traveler, especially drawn to the history of Santa Barbara, where she was a dedicated docent at the Presidio. She loved sharing her extensive knowledge of the area’s rich heritage and was always eager to explore the beauty of the California coastline.

Her adventurous spirit and enthusiasm for learning were contagious, leaving a lasting impact on all who knew her.

Suzi was a beloved part of the Waypoint Church community. Attending service was the highlight of her week.

Suzi’s kindness, generosity, and vibrant personality will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

A memorial service will be planned for after the holidays.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made in Suzi’s memory to the Santa Barbara Trust for Historic Preservation.
