Sonya Yvette Reaves was Born on April 13th, 1963, to Joanne McKee and Maurice Andrel Reaves in San Diego, California. She graduated from Morse High School in 1981. Sonya went on to have five children: Dwayne Gilbert, Amber Cooke, Allison Garrett, Hennessy Johnson and Chasity Huggins.
She had a smile that lit up every room and an infectious laugh. A true fashionista at heart, she enjoyed interior designing and shopping for the latest trends. She was known as the “fun mom” and did not hesitate to open her door to anyone in need. Known as the best cook in the family, she made sure to pass that trait down to her children. She was a pillar in the Southeast community and will surely be missed.
Sonya went home to glory on November 6, 2024.
She is preceded in death by her grandmother Marguerie, her mother Joann, father Maurice, and son Dwayne.
She leaves behind two brothers; Anthony Askari Brown and Thornell Brown, four children; Amber (Bryan), Allison (Renardo), Hennessy and Chasity, six grandchildren; Noah Cooke, Kaiden Gates, Da’Mea Johnson, Grayson Garrett, Gionni Garrett, and Dameon Johnson Jr.
