Sonia MATTHEWS

Thank you to all... especially to Sonia´s work colleagues and students who posted such warm and kind thoughts of our beloved sister, daughter, mother, wife, aunt ..beautiful Sonia. Sonia would have been very touched and moved by your warm thoughts and sentiments. Sonia enjoyed teaching, but it was her students she loved most of all! She strived to make a difference with each one of her students, encouraging them to reach for the stars! Anyone who knew Sonia was infected by her beautiful smile, thoughtfulness and kind heart. Sonia was a very courageous soul, who worked hard and went above and beyond to help whenever she could. She took on new challenges very easily, with a sweet smile.
She taught some of the more challenging technical courses at the college, which required many demos and assignments to complete. She was excited when her class sizes grew year to year (reaching 75+) and online learning took over, she worked hard to prepare her online lessons and video classes with great detail to help her students feel like they were still face to face in a classroom. She dedicated many weekends to marking over 200 assignments, ensuring her deadlines were met, and was always available by email to students. One of her biggest joys was in organizing charity functions with her students, which helped raised much needed funds for the college. She was so proud and took great joy in seeing how dedicated and generous of their time her students were, and all the hard work they did together for others.
We miss Sonia dearly... we know she made a big impact on many! Her kind heart and thoughtful soul lives on forever in her two boys ... and in the lives of everyone she met.
God bless you all
