It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Sonja Palmiere, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother (Oma), and friend, who left us on Friday, February 14, 2025, at the age of 77 years.

Sonja was the devoted wife of Bruce Palmiere for 52 years, and together they built a family filled with love, and unwavering support for one another. She was the cherished mother of her four children - three sons and one daughter - who will forever hold her in their hearts. Her grandchildren were the light of her life, bringing her endless joy and pride.

Sonja dedicated her life to her family and friends, always putting their needs before her own. She was a pillar of love and strength, offering warmth, wisdom, and endless support to those around her. Whether it was through her kind words, thoughtful gestures, or the way she made everyone feel at home, she left a lasting impact on all who knew her.

She will be deeply missed but never forgotten. Her love, kindness, and legacy will live on in the hearts of those she touched.
