Sonja had been working in the tourism industry in Ketchikan the past few years.

In the off-season, Sonja did construction work, revitalizing old buildings and learned to do tile work.
Sonja is survived by her parents, Mark and Rheva Turner; son Donovan Wood; brothers Jonathan and Nick Turner; and multiple nephews and nieces.
