Sonya Standridge Obituary

Sonya Deanette Standridge, age 53, of Copperhill, passed away, Saturday, August 17, 2024.
She was born April 27, 1971, in Copperhill, Tennessee to Jack and Dawna Standridge.
Sonya leaves behind a legacy of love, joy and care that will continue to inspire and uplift those who remember her.
Sonya dedicated over 30 years of her life to nursing, a career marked by compassion, skill and unwavering commitment. Her patients knew her as a beacon of kindness, and her colleagues admired her for her dedication and expertise.
Outside of her professional life, Sonya was a true adventurer at heart. She found joy in exploring new destinations, and her travels were a testament to her zest for life. She delighted in the thrill of shopping, the serenity of gardening, and exhilaration of riding through the mountains. Each of these passions brought her immense joy and allowed her to share her vibrant spirit with those around her.
To all who knew her, Sonya was a "barrel full of fun," a lighthearted and generous soul who brought laughter and warmth into every room. Her infectious enthusiasm and loving nature will be deeply missed by her family, friends and all who had the privilege of knowing her.
Sonya is preceded in death by her father, Claude "Jack" Standridge.
She is survived by her son, Wyatt Standridge; mother, Dawna Standridge; siblings, Stoney (Lisa) Standridge, Amy (Robbie) Cole, Billy (Tammy) Standridge, and Sharon (David) Bailey; nephews, Tyler (Crystal) Standridge, and Ben Galloway; nieces, Kendall (Shelbi) Standridge, and Haley Runion; great-nieces, Amelia Standridge, and Vayda Standridge; uncle, Bill Standridge; aunt, Jackie Cash; and K9 companion, Haven.
Memorial services were conducted Wednesday, August 21, 2024, at 8 p.m. from the Akins-Cobb of Copperhill Chapel with the Rev. Joey Buchanan officiating.
The family received friends at the funeral home Wednesday, August 21, 2024, from 5 p.m. till 8 p.m.
In lieu of flowers, an account has been set up for Wyatt's college fund at United Community Bank.
