<div itemprop="description">It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Sonja Legacy, our beloved mother, nana, sister, aunt and friend at the age of 76.<br /><br /><br />Mom passed away peacefully with her family by her side on January 19, 2015.<br /><br /><br />She was a proud long time resident of Red Rock, was a dedicated foster parent for over 25 years and a member of the Catholic Women&rsquo;s League of St. Hilary's Church for over 50 years and Legion Ladies Auxiliary member of Branch 226.<br /><br /><br />In her younger years, she was an avid curler and later in life enjoyed watching it whether in person or on TV. Mom had a love for reading and enjoyed her Harlequin Romances and shared that passion with her sister Lesley. Some of her fondest memories were celebrating birthday lunches with her siblings. <br /><br /><br />Mom was overjoyed when her grandchildren visited and stayed for sleepovers. Her passion for baking and her generosity was evident when she baked for her grandchildren, employees of Pelletier&rsquo;s Gas Bar, the Case Family, Allen's Auto and anyone else who asked.<br /><br /><br />She was pre-deceased by her husband Walter, her sister Inga and her parents Gouldie and Eric Nyman. <br /><br /><br />She will be greatly missed by son David Legacy (Chrissy, Michelle &amp; Shannon); Crystal &amp; Doug Tustian (Katherine &amp; Megan); Shelby Salo (Don Gosselin) (Ashleigh, Whitney &amp; Jordan); Lisa &amp; Mike Zeleny (Eric, Taylor &amp; Olivia); Tracey &amp; Brent Clary (Connor &amp; Liana); Jenny &amp; Dale Ray (Shawna, Nick &amp; Marcus) as well her brothers and sisters, and best friend Charlene Wallin.<br /><br /><br />As per moms wishes a memorial service will take place at a later date. Donations can be made in her memory to The Children's Aid Foundation at the Nipigon Branch Office or St. Hilary&rsquo;s Roman Catholic Church in Red Rock.<br /><br /><br />Many thanks for the compassion and care shown by the Palliative Care staff of the Nipigon District Memorial Hospital, Thunder Bay Regional Health Science Centre 1A, Father Don, Deacon Dave, and our family and friends throughout this difficult time.<br /><br /></div>
