SONYA BROOKS Obituary
Sonya Michelle Brooks, born on February 22, 1965, in Dallas, Texas, departed this life on January 2, 2025. A loving and devoted wife, mother, and daughter, Sonya touched many hearts with her compassionate spirit and unwavering faith.
Sonya was known for her fun-loving personality and her heart of gold. She dedicated her life to helping others, raising her two cousins with love and care, and serving her community with strong Christian values at St. Paul Baptist Church, she inspired countless young individuals with her guidance and warmth. Her commitment to her faith was further exemplified as a deaconess and a cherished choir member, where her beautiful voice united congregants in worship.
