BOYNTON BEACH, FL: Sonya Teresa Cortez Webster, 42, of Boynton Beach, FL, passed away peacefully in her sleep on December 20th, 2016, after an extended battle with breast cancer.
Originally from Port Clinton, Ohio, Sonya is survived by her husband, Michael; her children, Travis and Teresa Hensley, and Elliot Webster; her parents, Juan and Wendy Cortez; her two brothers, Eddie and Toby; and many other family and friends.
She was an incredible mom, and a fiercely loyal friend, daughter and wife. We move forward without her, but Sonya will always be with us in the memory of her love and her laughter.
