Sonnie was a graduate of R-W High School, and retired in 2001 from the Harrison County Board of Education as a Teacher’s Aide after 25 years of service. She was instrumental in starting the Key Club at Liberty High School and Builders Club at Bridgeport Middle School. She was very active with the WV National Guard Family Support Group, and was an active member of the Quiet Dell United Methodist Church.

She loved to read and loved her vacation time at the beach. Above all, she loved spending time with her family, especially her grandkids who knew her affectionately as “Granny.”
