Sonia leaves behind her beloved husband of 68 years, Jose Torres; her five children—Monica, Sonia, Carla, Jose and Charles; her 6 cherished grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren; and her dear sister, Sally and brother Carlos.

Sonia was immensely proud of her children, especially her sons who served honorably in the Air Force and Navy. She loved cooking, spending time with her family, long drives, music, dancing and found joy in her faith and passion for the church; the Virgin Mary was a powerful force in her life.
