Sonja Davie Passes Away

By Judy Kestner

Sonja Thorsland Davie, sister-in-law to Jean Davie Fieg, died in Cooperstown on December 13 at about 3:00 in the afternoon from complications of a lung disease.


Sonja and her husband, the late Raymon Davie, are remembered as gracious hosts, opening the doors at their lakeside camp and their home on Pioneer Street not only to members of their immediate family but also to friends, acquaintances and friends-of-friends alike.  The conversation was excellent, the food superlative and the love palpable.

Jean Fieg, whose late husband V. Philip Fieg is founder of the Fieg Family Newsletter, said, "I always think of Sonja as being 39," and that young-at-heart attitude was her signature. 

Sonja's niece Diana Monaco said she was laughing and joking almost right up to the end.  I can hear her now.

Sonja is survived by daughter Lori Price, her husband John and son Jack of Leesburg, VA, and son Stephen Davie, his wife Sharon and their children Kyle, Ryan, Peyton, Dylan and Keelin of Chittenango, NY.

There will be a memorial service in the spring of 2011.
