She was a great lady!!!!!! I loved working with her at Doniphan. My fondest memory of her is the half time show at a basketball game. She had taught the kids a routine dribbling to music. WOW it was wonderful. She was loved by her students and staff.

Sondra was a wonderful friend. During her journey through life and battling cancer, she “fought the good fight, finished her course, and kept the faith” (2 Timothy 4:7-8 my paraphrase). I miss her. To her family, may God comfort you during this difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I am so saddened to hear of Sondra’s passing. I fondly remember meeting her when she interviewed for the teaching/coaching position in Doniphan. She was a great teacher and coach. She was the consummate professional. She became a faithful friend to me and my wife and we enjoyed our visits together. We will keep all of the family in our prayers!
