Sondra was a kind, friendly and charitable person, spoken of with great fondness by her family, a wide circle of friends and those she met and worked with on many boards and committees. She was highly recognized for her lifelong philanthropy and generous contributions to her community and Israel. Sondra cherished time with family and was a devoted, considerate and supportive mother, grandmother, wife, sister, daughter, aunt and friend, who built strong, loving relationships.
