Sydney was a huge fan of the "Halo" hitmaker and even won an award her senior year of high school after she performed a dance medley to her songs. She went viral in 2019 when she was just 19 years old -- her reaction to Beyoncé performing at Coachella was included in Bey's Netflix documentary, "Beyonce: Homecoming" ... and she quickly became a meme.

We're told Sydney took her own life Nov 8. She was engaged and set to be married this upcoming April.

The family says Sydney played basketball from childhood and throughout college, and then worked as a flight instructor in Texas. They began to notice differences in her mood after her grandfather died -- though her loved ones are still trying to figure out why she took her own life.

She was 25.
