Sonya D. (Almeida) Harris, 43, of Wareham, passed on Jan. 10, in Tobey Hospital, following a courageous battle with cancer. She was the wife of William J. Harris Jr.

She was the daughter of Elaine Almeida (Butterball) and late Arthur Almeida of Onset. She is survived by Joel Almeida and his wife, Amy; Cortney, Casey, and Cody Harris all of Wareham. She was the grandmother of Kyle Sylvia, Joel Almeida Jr., and Adryan Harris. She was the sister of Sandra Munson, Shawn Andrews, and Sondra Almeida, all of Wareham. She is also survived by several aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews of Wareham and Onset.

She graduated from Upper Cape Voc in 1987 with a certificate in cosmetology. She was employed in the restaurant field for many years before turning her attention to raising her family.

She had a passion for music, camping, fishing, and cooking. She always had a smile on her face and warm conversation for all she came in contact with. There was nothing she liked better than having a conversation with a good or new friend.

There was nothing she wouldn’t do for anyone in need, affectionately know as “Ma“ by many. She cared for many, but was truly loved by all. She will be missed, but not forgotten.

Rest in peace. We love you.
