Ann Katherine Sonatore

Mrs. Sonatore passed away peacefully on Saturday, March 15, 2025. Born in Elizabeth, New Jersey, she was the daughter of the late George McCloud and Katherine Motley McCloud. Ann worked as a bookkeeper throughout her career, with her most cherished position being at Woodward Construction Company in Matawan, NJ.

A devout Catholic, Ann was a former member of St. Genevieve Catholic Church in Elizabeth, NJ and Jesus the Lord Catholic Church in Keyport, NJ. She was a recent member of Transfiguration Catholic Church in Blythewood, SC. Ann’s faith was central to her life, and she enjoyed making homemade crafts for church sales, along with volunteering and engaging in various church activities.

Ann had a lifelong love for reading. She also enjoyed painting and other crafts, which she often shared with others. Ann cherished the beach, which was always her happy place. She spent many summers at Bradley Beach in New Jersey as a young girl, and throughout her life, she returned to the ocean to relax and reflect.

A loving mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, Ann found joy in gardening, spending time with her family, and, of course, reading. Her family will always remember her nurturing spirit, strong faith, and dedication to helping others.

Ann is survived by her daughters, Tina A. Sinker (Robert) of Blythewood, SC, and Mary Sonatore of Charleston, SC; sons, Joseph Sonatore (Catherine) and James Sonatore, both of Blythewood, SC; grandchildren, Joseph Sonatore (Maricel), Robert Sinker, Meghan Sonatore, and Kristen Sinker-Mendez (Mathew); and two great-grandchildren, Joseph Sonatore and Chloe Sonatore.

In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by her husband, Louis Andrew Sonatore; brother, William McCloud; and sister, Mary Decker.
