She was preceded in death by her mother Elizabeth MacDonald, grandparents Harry and Mabel Parkison, and son Gary Donoher.

Sonia graduated from Stivers High School in 1950. She entered into the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony with Don on September 25, 1954 at St. Agnes Catholic Church in Toledo, Ohio, officiated by Don’s brother Fr. Ned Donoher. Under the grace that God conferred upon them that day, Sonia commenced her lifetime vocation as wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.
