Sonia Dorothy Stubbs was born near Theodore, Saskatchewan, on April 29, 1939, and passed away on February 3, 2026, at the age of 86 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.

Sonia married Bill on April 14, 1962. They had many adventures together including a move to Châteauguay, Québec, and later, in retirement spending part of the winter in Yuma, Arizona.

Sonia was an industrious person, and held varied careers including switchboard operator, nurse, entrepreneur and salesperson. Sonia loved being a wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt and friend.

Sonia loved to travel, and most recently visited the United Kingdom, Ireland, Spain and Portugal with her children. She was known for her hospitable and generous spirit. Both Sonia and Bill hosted guests from all over the world, enjoyed delicious meals with a lot of conversation, and a good card game. She sewed and gifted many beautiful quilts, which are a treasured possession of many. For decades, she was a diligent student of the Bible, a member of the congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses, and shared in the volunteer ministry with her family and friends.
