Sonya ran a day care and worked for many years for Coloma Public Schools. She was very passionate about helping kids and caring for their needs.

She grew to love the outdoors, and especially treasured time spent up north on the river and around the campfire with her loved ones. Sonya was also a lifelong fan of the Chicago Cubs and Chicago Bears.
