Sondra O’Donnell

Sondra passed away unexpectedly Tuesday, March 19th at the Salem Regional Medical Center.

To know Sondra, was to love Sondra. She didn’t know a stranger and made everyone feel like family: accepted, appreciated, and valued. Sondra spent her life dedicating her time, knowledge and heart to others as shown by her work at the Brightside Project, Kiwanis Club, The Dustin Huffman Foundation, Fleming House, Nina’s Closet and Americorp. She has touched so many lives and inspired so many people to be the best versions of themselves. I think that shows true in her 3 amazing children: Lauren, Kerri and Ryan; her 5 grandchildren: Liliana, Vito, Julian, Bria, and Brynlee; and her husband, Terence. Sondra truly was a bright light, a listening ear, a safe place to land, and a heart of gold.

For everything Sondra has selflessly given to others over the years, I am asking for help in returning that gift to her family at this time of need. All donations will be used for hospital and medical bills, funeral expenses and life after death expenses. Please consider donating if you are able, and continue to keep this family wrapped in your thoughts and prayers as they navigate this extremely difficult time.
