Alma B. Sonntag Obituary (1938

Alma was taken away from us too soon. She passed away at the House of Loreto at 3:43 am on Monday February 13, 2017. Alma was a loving mother and grandmother. She faced many challenges in her life being born disabled , being a single mother, and at the end fighting cancer. Alma never used her disability as an excuse. She worked, could drive a car , learned to swim and loved her exercise class. She was always there to help her daughter through her own struggles in life and gave her comfort through all of them without a complaint. Alma loved playing with her grandchildren and always let them pick out the silly games they wanted to play like on freezing cold days she would be out with them making snow angels and snow ball fights. This tradition of playing carried on to her great grandchildren. Alma was preceded in death by her parents Andrew and Katherine Sonntag, and her big brother Andrew Sonntag. Alma is survived by her big sister K.C. Clark, her daughter Rayma Smith, three grandchildren, Shannon (Robbie) Dine , Timothy (Christopher) Prior, Tristen (Katie) Smith. And also her precious five great grandchildren who she loved dearly, Kyler, Kaiden, Mckenna, Mercedez, and Tristen Jr. Mom you were always there for me. You are and always will be my best friend. I will miss our talks, our trips the the grocery store, talking about our favorite shows. We were a team. Now mom you can run and dance in Heaven. May you rest in peace. I love you mom forever and always.
