Sonya D Combs Ayre, born November 18th 1961 in Branson Missouri, passed away July 9th 2025 at her home in Brookeline, Missouri leaving behind a legacy of beauty, grace, and maternal pride.
Sonya graduated from Branson High School in 1979. After which she attended cosmetology school where she not only excelled, but also brought joy and confidence to those she cared about. Sonya was a hardworking individual who held many jobs throughout her life, each one a testament to her determination and versatility. Sonya's independence and self-reliance were evident in her ownership of her home and car, both of which she maintained with meticulous care and pride. She always stayed up to date on latest trends and seamlessly incorporated them into her life. From her carefully curated wardrobe to the elegant décor of her home. She embraced the roles of daughter, mother, sister, and aunt whole heartedly and with great devotion. She strived to support her family and friends in every endeavor they pursued. Those closest to Sonya will remember her as a hilarious and uniquely spirited person who could light up any room.
Sonya was preceded in death by her parents Delores and Thomas Combs, her sister Michelle Combs, and her brother Michael Combs.
