SONNENBERG, Helga Hendrika (nee SCHOENBERGER) - July 3, 1937 - May 3, 2021
Helga Hendrika Sonnenberg, also referred fondly to by her family as "Oma" and "Mom", passed away peacefully at the age of 83 on Monday, May 3, 2021.
Helga was the beloved wife of Gary Sonnenberg (married for 62 years), kind sister to Erika Schoenberger living in Berlin, and the caring mother of four beautiful daughters; Kersten, Andrea, Hendrika, and Helga (Jr) as well as son-in-law Duff, Gary and Chris.
She held a very special place in her heart for her grandchildren Remi, Hendrika and Benjamin, who will forever recognize her as their loving grandmother and steadfast role model.
Throughout her life, she supported her family wholly in the pursuit of their schooling, careers and adventures.
She was an incredible woman.
Outgoing, hardworking, beautiful, intelligent and caring, her individuality and wisdom left a lasting impression on everyone that she met.
She will forever be remembered as the problem solver of the family, someone who could understand and empathize with anyone's situation.
She will be greatly missed by family and extended friends and will forever remain a source of inspiration, strength, courage, as well as an essential figure in the Sonnenberg family.
We thank the palliative care team at the Temmy Latner Centre and the dedicated staff of VHA Home HealthCare Services.
