Sondra Fowler Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Sep. 11, 2025.
Sondra Sue Fowler (Runyan), 81, passed away peacefully on September 8, 2025, in Odessa, Texas. Born on December 18, 1943, in Caro, Michigan, Sondra lived a life marked by strength and unwavering love of family and friends.

Sondra began her professional journey as a hairdresser before transitioning to a career in banking. She ultimately retired as a bank teller, where her dedication and warm demeanor left a lasting impression on colleagues and customers alike.

A Christian who loved the Lord , He was the guiding light throughout her life. Her strength was matched only by her compassion-she was the rock of her family, offering support and love through every season of life.

She is survived by her beloved husband, Patrick Fowler; sons James Robert Fowler and Douglas Fowler; daughters-in-law Melisa Fowler and Shawnette Fowler; grandchildren Dustin Fowler, Megan Greene, Stephanie Bommersbach, Ashton Sauceda, Cassie Rodriguez, Cody Young, Tye Young, Brittani Coffman, Alexandra Latham, and Tristan Fowler; and her sister Karen Rhea along with niece Judy Rhea. Each of them carries forward the legacy of her love and resilience.

She was also dearly loved by her sister-in-law Dorothy Fowler and niece Lucinda Laro and her husband Noah.

Sondra was preceded in death by her parents, Robert and Lois Runyan; and her sister Barbara Runyan Boyland and niece Kathy Boyland Hicks.

In addition to being a pillar for those around her, Sondra found joy in simple pleasures. She loved to fish-relishing the peace of the water-and she had a fondness for playing the slot machines. These hobbies brought her happiness and reflected her spirited nature.

May Sondra's memory bring comfort to all who knew and loved her. A Graveside Service will be held on October 3, 2025, from 02:00 PM to 03:00 PM at Sunset Memorial Gardens & Funeral Home 6801 E I20BL

I wish I could have more time back with you. But I am so very grateful to spend some of your last moments together and I got to tell you how much I loved you. That my kids got to see you and tell you they loved you. They only knew you for a short time but they´ve asked about you everyday since. Thank you for loving me as your own. For raising Doug into the man he is so I could have such a great dad to look up to. And for loving my grandpa and being the glue to the family. I promise to take care of them all to the best of my abilities. I could never fill the big shoes you left but together as a team we will make sure to take of grandpa until he is home with you. We love you Grandma. Enjoy Heaven and we will see you again
