Sonya was employed at the Department of Motor Vehicles in Wethersfield, CT for 30 years. She was also a member of Grace Church in New Britain, CT.

"Miss Hollywood" was full of life and added excitement and laughter everywhere she went. Undeniably the life of the party, her presence exuded a light that could brighten anyone's day. She had a comedic and outspoken personality that touched the lives of all who knew her. Her caring and attentive nature was the glue that kept her tight knit family together; her children being the most important. A fierce and fabulous Diva, her memory will live on forever.

She leaves to celebrate her life, her mother Marie Owens and step father Larry Owens;
daughter - Latrina Jackson; son - Kevaughn Atkins; two sisters - Tasha Clayton, Penny Marie Roseboro; three brothers - Aaron Clayton, Tarik Clayton and Keith Clayton (predeceased); One step brother - Tyrone Owens; two step sisters - Monique Owens and Sharon Owens; Two granddaughters - Kaylee and Kylee Atkins; several aunts, nieces, nephews and a host of cousins and friends.

Visitation will be held from 2-4pm on Saturday, March 7, 2015 at the Grace C M E Church, at Trinity on Main, 69 Main Street, New Britain., followed by a funeral service 4-5pm with the Rev. Thomas Mills presiding. New Britain Memorial Donald D. Sagarino Funeral Home was entrusted with arrangements. For directions or online messages, please visit www.newbritainsagarino.com.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

May the comfort of our Lord be with all of us who knew and loved Sonja. Sonya was a bright and upbeat person, and was so funny. I still remember her when she would enter the door at the salon when she and I would meet up. Sonja would come in and do a step from the door to the seating area and shout as loud as she could. " Hey Yawl !" Then all the crazy stories from her day would start rolling, along with all the laughs. Sonja was funny ,but when it was a time of needing some sound good advice, she would have a positive thought to leave you with,she spoke positively and made you feel blessed to have talked to her. I last saw Sonja at an event, I had the pleasure of introducing her to my husband. Little did I know that would be our last conversation. But again, she was positive and upbeat, I remember her telling my husband that I was a great person,and that he had a good wife. But that is what happens when you have positive and upbeat people in your life,Sonja was indeed that. I am thankful to God that we crossed path. Well Sonja until we meet again on the other side R.I.P, you will be greatly missed.

Psalm 46:1..God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble. May God continue to bless the family of our Dear friend Sonya. God's Angel is still "Shining". We Love you all, Lorraine (Bea), Vickie, Lisa and Tab.

I have the my little pony you drew glasses on and gave me years ago on my desk with her pink hair swooped to the side. I will always love you as you told me and cherish our memories of laughter, hurt and pain. when I get to heaven we can play music and sing as loud as we want.
