Sonya, along with her husband Kurt, children, Kailey and Logan were a big part of her life and brought her much joy through the years. Far too many healthcare providers cared for her during her long illness to thank them all here, however, special gratitude goes to her Oncologist, of over ten years, Alfonso Cervera, MD, of Norton Cancer Institute, where she received her treatment for the last few years. Special thanks to all who offered up prayers, visited, wrote cards and letters, communicated with her on the phone and by Email, and brought food during her long illness. Her legacy will live on for generations to come through her students, family members, friends, and anyone lucky enough to know her. Send a condolence to the family of Elaine Burton Cooley Owen Funeral Home, 5317 Dixie Highway, Louisville, KY in charge of arrangements. This story was posted on 2015-05-23 07:35:03
