Christine Ann Sonmor was born on June 19, 1961 to Leif and Margaret (Corrigan) Sonmor. Christine grew up in the Forgan, SK area, attending school in Forgan, Elrose and Swift Current. She moved to Estevan where she met and later married Lee Southernwood on July 30, 1994. She enjoyed gardening – especially her flowers, trap shooting, Nascar, Stephen King novels and her dogs! Christine had a tremendous love of animals from her early days on the farm where she spent most of her time in the horse pasture, to her home in Estevan and her two dogs LuLu and Logan – she loved them all. She had many friends and enjoyed spending time visiting and sharing with them. Christine was a breast cancer survivor – showing us all how to be courageous and selfless in the fight.
A Celebration of Christine’s Life will be held on Friday, July 29, 2011 at 11:00 a.m. in St. Paul’s United Church, Estevan, with Rev. Brenna Nickel officiating. Interment will follow in Souris Valley Memorial Gardens, Estevan.
Those so wishing may make donations to the Heart & Stroke Foundation of Saskatchewan, Canadian Cancer Society or the SPCA in Christine’s memory.
