Sonja HENDRICKSON Obituary
her right side, and from which she never fully recovered. Sonja died at her Acute Care home in Burnaby, BC, on December 14, 2023.
Sonja's gracious warmth, generous spirit and strong faith touched all who met her throughout her life as mother, grandmother, aunt, teacher, friend, seamstress, organizing wizard, cook, and hostess extraordinaire. She loved her many professional years working with Camosun College students in the English Placement office, served on many boards and committees and stayed active with her church.
With James (Jim), her beloved husband of 65 years, she raised four children in Victoria, BC, and later delighted in welcoming six grandchildren each of whom held a special place in her heart. In retirement, Sonja and Jim moved to East Sooke BC, wintered in Arizona, and eventually moved to White Rock, BC, to be closer to family. Wherever Sonja was, she was happiest when surrounded by family and friends.
Sonja is survived by her husband Jim, her children Joy, David, Mark, Mary, her grandchildren Kady, Anneka, Kieran, Kai, twins Akimi and Maya, her sister Mary Anne, and numerous extended family members. We are grateful for the full life she lived, and for the strength of the connections she leaves behind.
Please join us for Sonja's Celebration of Life at 2:00 pm on Saturday, March 16, 2024, at Lutheran Church of the Cross: 3787 Cedar Hill Rd, Victoria BC or live streamed from their website: www.lutheranvictoria.ca
In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in Sonja Hendrickson's name to Lutheran Church of the Cross, or to the Heart & Stroke Foundation of Canada at www.heartandstroke.ca

Our sincerest prayers and sympathy to Jim and the Hendrickson family. We will never forget the kindness shown to us by Sonja and all of you over the years, especially the year we spent in Victoria many years ago. We are grateful that we were able to reconnect more recently as we shared some great visits together in Apache Junction and once again experienced the fantastic hospitality of the Henricksons. Sonja was a truly wonderful woman and we are so sorry for your loss. We too will really miss her. May God be with you as you celebrate her great life.

Sonja was a woman of great compassion and grace, clearly powered by her faith, and I was honoured to witness her contributions to student success in our years working together at Camosun College.

We're very sorry to hear of Sonja's passing. She was a good friend and neighbour, and had a warm and caring personality. We will hold her in our thoughts.
