Sonya was a gentle and kind person who was devoted to helping children in Livingston Parish as a Social Worker for Child Protection Services. She was an LSU alumni and avid tiger fan. For the last 16 years she has fought long and hard through her illness, which she did with dignity and grace. Sonya was referred to as a beautiful unicorn in a field of horses. She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.
