A vivacious young woman, she would light up the room with her crisp blue eyes and beautiful smile. Sonya was a woman of many talents that she was able to express in a wide variety of ways. Her empathetic nature enabled her to help others in so many different situations.
She was passionate about researching her family’s ancestry. She loved her community and was proud of being a direct descendant of W.O. Saunders.
