Sonja Knight (1973 - 2023)**

Sonja Knight, 49, of Portland, Maine, passed away unexpectedly on August 19, 2023. Born on October 16, 1973, in Portland, she was the beloved daughter of the late James P.

Sonja is lovingly remembered by her mother, Geraldine; her sister, Tina M Pinette; her devoted daughter, Kristy L. Landry and her fiancé, Trey J. Gadbois; and her son, Jacob K. Mason. She was the cherished grandmother to Quincy Lee J. Gadbois, Justice R. Gadbois, and Javonte Trey J. Gadbois. Her nephew, Tyler J. Spear, held a special place in her heart.

With a spirit that exuded warmth and creativity, Sonja was a dedicated homemaker who found joy in the simple pleasures of life.

Among the cherished moments she left behind are the times she spent teaching card games to her beloved grandchildren and family, creating lasting memories.

Alongside her immediate family, Sonja is survived by numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins. The void left by her passing is profound, but the memories and love she shared will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew her.
