It is with heavy hearts we share that our earthly angel, Sonja has joined her loving husband Bob (2016). Peacefully at home in Sylvan on Thursday May 2nd, 2019 in her 83rd year, surrounded by the family she devoted her life to, who loved her dearly. Sonja will leave a huge hole in the hearts of Deborah and Mark Darling and Donna and Terry Spruytte. A cherished and devoted Grandmother to Brent, Toni, Breanne, and Grant Darling, Nicole and Rob Marriott, and Danielle Spruytte and Dean DiPaolo. They are thankful for the laughter shared, memories created, and unconditional Love received. A special sparkle in Great Grandma’s heart, was her Great Grandson Titan who brought her much joy. Fondly remembered and lovingly missed by her siblings Karl (Ingrid) Geerts and Marleen (Harold) White. Her niece Theresa (great nephews Jacob and Mason) White-Martin and nephew Jonathan White.

Deb, Mark, Donna , Terry and families. Heaven has gained another Angel. She was a second Mom to be for many years living down the road from me growing up. I have such wonderful memories of my time spent with your family. In September I had such a great visit with Sonja at Rob and Nicole’s wedding we shared many stories that night including some your Mom didn’t know about. Remember the great times you guys have spent together and the memories you have created. Bob and Sonja are now together again.
