In 1985, she met Jake Walker and they were together until his passing in 2012; together having two children, Cole and Jasmine. Sonja was always involved in church and various church activities wherever she moved to. She enjoyed dancing, sewing, making crafts and going to the beach. Above all, she loved spending time with her family, not only her family by relation, but also her family by choice. She was a loving mother to all and her home was always open to anyone in need. Throughout the years her children and grandchildren were involved in various sports and school activities and she made sure to always be in attendance. Sonja was a loving and caring neighbor and friend. We celebrate her life and her accomplishments and will treasure the memories she created for her family and friends.
