Sonja was a well known to many, she waitressed for many years at the Timber Lanes, was an avid bowler and made many life long friends.
When her oldest grandson was born, Sonja left her waitressing job and was a care-giver to many children over the years. She was “Grandma Sonja” to many and will be missed by all.
Later, she returned to the Timber Lanes and continued her waitressing until her retirement.
She loved spending time with family and friends, getting together for coffee, fishing and camping – where many a marshmallow was roasted.
As per her wishes cremation will take place and internment will be at a later date followed with a celebration with family and friends.
If friends so desire, donations may be made to the Canadian Diabetes Association through the Stevens Funeral Homes P.O. Box 412 Dryden, ON P8N 2Z1.
