Sonnie J. Portner

Sonnie loved to travel making good use of her many years with American Airlines. Her energy and enthusiasm always brightened up any day or night. In my memory she will always be Sonnie and bright. Shalom

My husband, myself and our dog always looked forward to seeing Sonnie and Riley on our walks. Sonnie was so patient and lovely. She will be greatly missed! We take comfort in knowing she is with her best friend Riley taking forever walks.

We are deeply saddened to hear about the loss of Sonnie. Her kindness in spending time with our daughter meant so much to us, and we are truly grateful for the warmth and care she showed her. She will be missed. – The Chapman Family

Sonnie and.I were coworkers at American Airlines reservation office in Cincinnati for years. She was a good I’ll always remember and treasure. Kathy Thomas

I met Sonnie 18 years ago, and I was truly privileged and blessed to have her in my life. I looked forward to seeing her every Thursday, unless she was away on one of her exciting trips, which I always loved hearing about. If we ever had to reschedule due to book club, I didn’t mind, as it just meant we would have another opportunity to catch up.

I will forever be grateful to her friend, Mary Ann, for introducing us. Sonnie’s presence in my life was a gift, and I will miss her deeply. But I take comfort in knowing that she is now with our Lord.

Rest in peace, dear friend. Until we meet again. Pam

Sonnie (and Riley) was the first person I met when We moved to RiversBreeze some 10 years ago
She was a Blessing and Seeing her out walking was very comforting
I considered Her a Friend
And am shocked to hear of Her passing
God Bless You Sonnie
You are missed incredibly
I hope Riley and Yourself are walking a New Happy Neighborhood

I’m so saddened to hear of Sonnie’ s passing. We worked together at The Container Store and I always looked forward to seeing her smiling face. Sonnie loved talking about her travels and her sweet dog, Riley. Sonnie was beautiful on the inside and out…she will be missed.

So sorry to hear about cousin sonnie

Sonnie was a bright spot in our neighborhood. She was kind, patient, friendly with our daughter and our rambunctious dog, and every other child, dog, and neighbor. She will be very much missed.

Sonnie was such a positive force in the neighborhood. She was always so kind to my daughter, dog, wife, and I. She had so much joy and patience for both my daughter and dog. We’ll miss seeing her on our walks.

Sonnie was my next door neighbor for many years at Rivers Breeze. I am shocked and saddened at her passing. No longer being able to see her come and go on a day to day will be difficult but my hope is that she has reunited with her beloved Riley and that she is out of pain and at peace. I’ll miss her humor, her sassiness, her travel stories and what she was watching on late night tv!
I send my sincere and deepest condolences to her family and friends.

To the family of Sonnie, we are very sad for your loss. Sonnie was one of our neighbors in River’s Breeze. We saw and spoke to her often when she walked her dog, Riley. Gone far too soon. With our sympathies, Cindy & Chris De Serna
