Sonja Smith's Obituary
With great sadness, we mourn the strongest person we know - our beloved mother, Sonja I Smith, age 89.
Born in Indonesian, she was a prisoner of war during World War II. After surviving the war, her family relocated to The Netherlands.
Her curiosity and desire to explore the world brought her to the United States, and eventually to Boston, Massachusetts, where she developed her individuality.
Later in life, she pursued her LPN degree with the utmost vigor. She completed a 4-year degree in 2 years, while raising 3 young children. With her degree, she started her nursing career Boston City Hospital/Boston Medical Center. Her compassion and empathy towards her patients were noticed by colleagues and
families.
She developed her love for people, adventure, culture, dancing, music, fishing, animals, biking, and so much more. She will be remembered for her strength, generosity, love, and living life her way.
She is survived by her daughters, Dorothy and Monica Smith, her two grandsons, Charles Smith and Justin Fontaine, and her 8 great-grandchildren.
In Memoriam Donations may be made to: Animal Rescue League of Boston or American Heart Association.
Family Services will be private.
