Sondra was a 1996 graduate of Trinity High School in Washington, PA. She attended Allegheny College where she earned her bachelor’s degree in English. Sondra graduated from Washington and Lee University with her Juris Doctorate degree in 2003. She married the love of her life and best friend, Michael in 2005. They have two wonderful children, Emma and Cole. Sondra practiced law for several years before she decided to be home with her children. Being a homemaker kept her busy and she was always on the go with her daughter’s Volleyball team and many other school and sports activities. She loved being home with her family, enjoyed reading and watching college volleyball. She had an immense love for animals, especially her cats.

So sorry for your loss
I was friends with Sondra at Allegheny and a sorority sister. She was such a funny smart woman. I remember she loved watching Golden Girls everyday at 4pm! And she really could write! She took such good care of her sorority “little” sister. She was just a joy to be around. I’m so sorry for your loss and my heart goes out to Mike Emma and Cole.

I will always remember her bright personality and I have so many wonderful memories of Kappa with her. Love and loyalty, Anne Loccisano
My heart is broken
My heart is just simply broken. How can I break down into words everything you meant to me? From high school to being mothers together, some of my fondest memories have you in them. You were always there for me and this world just won’t be the same without you in it. Mike, Emma, Cole, and Mom B – please know that Chris, Matthew and I have all of you in our thoughts and prayers. We love you all.

Sending all of your family love, prayers and peace for healing. Sondra lived on my freshman dorm floor and then right across the hall sophomore year. I have so many good memories. May you all find peace and signs of Sondra’s love all around you.

You’ll always be with us!
Sondra, I miss you already, and I’m not sure that will ever change. You’re one of my oldest friends, and we’ve been through more happy and sad times together, than I could ever detail in such a small space. I will forever cherish the times we had together, they’ll always warn my heart. I’ll miss your warmth, your laugh, your ability to end up in the silliest of situations, your support, but most of all, your laugh. I love you sister. Always.
Mike, Emma, Cole, Mrs. B.; I love you all. My heart is with you all during this time.
