Our condolences to all the family. We had so many good times with Sonja & Henry, square dancing, camping, birthday parties, etc.- many great memories! We were not able to attend the funeral today but watched it on-line - it was a lovely service. Brenda and Barry did a great job under difficult circumstances. Many thanks to Brenda for letting us know about Sonja's passing - much appreciated.

Sincerely,

Doris & Roger Haynes

Sending all our love form Norway. My brother and I are so grateful for all our good childhood memories in Canada, with Sonja.

Love Camilla, Morten, Asle and Margaret.

On behalf of my sister and brother I would like to thank all that have shared a memory or picture. Even though her passing was so fast after dad we cherish the great memories we had with her this last year.

Thank you for sharing your memories. We feel blessed that mom touched so many people.

I am so sorry for your loss...she was an amazing lady. I worked with Sonja at RBC Student Loans and have wonderful memories of her.

Our heartfelt condolences.

We are so sad that Sonja passed away. She was such a warm and caring woman. We were very fond of her and always felt very welcome by her, when we visit Henry and Sonja in Calgary. Now she has found her peace together with Henry.

We wish all of you a lot of strength in this sad time.

Love Annika & Martin from the Rieder family, Rosbach, Germany

Barry, Marva and Olivia; Sending love and hugs to you all as you mourn the loss of your mom and grandmother. May your memories of her bring a smile to your face and warmth to your hearts❤️

Our deepest condolences, Kevin, Val and Ciarán

Sonjas Ehemann, Henry Rieder, war der Cousin unserer Mutter und Oma Anneliese Landefeld. Mehrere Male im Laufe der Jahrzehnte besuchten uns Sonja und Henry in Deutschland. Anfangs in Hümme (Hessen), wo unsere Eltern wohnten, später in Ennepetal (Nordrhein-Westfalen). In 1999 während unseres Canada-Aufenthalts luden uns (Martha, Peter und Andrea) Sonja und Henry für längere Zeit zu sich nach Calgary ein. Sonja war eine ausgezeichnete Gastgeberin, sehr fürsorglich und eine vorzügliche Bäckerin von verschiedenen Kuchen und Torten. Sie zeigten uns die Sehenswürdigkeiten von Calgary und wir fuhren zusammen in die Rocky Mountains. Dieser Aufenthalt war sehr beeindruckend für uns. Wir werden Soja als sehr liebenswerte Verwandte in Erinnerung behalten.

Wir sind froh, dass wir Sonjas jüngste Tochter, Brenda Jäger, in unserer Nähe wissen. Unser herzliches Beileid sprechen wir hier vor allem Sonjas Kindern Karen, Darleen, Barry und Brenda aus, natürlich denken wir auch an die weiteren Verwandten, speziell die Enkelkinder, die ihre Oma verloren haben.

Seid umarmt

Sonja was a great friend for many years, so kind and generous. I will miss her and her telephone calls asking how we are doing Sharon and Nick Hawrysh

Sonja and I worked together at RBC Brentwood in the seventies. She was great to work with and always had a great smile for everyone to see. Deb & I have stayed in touch with Sonja and her husband over the years at Royal Bank events and always enjoyed our time together.

I had the privilege of working with Sonja at RBC Bow Valley Square. Sonja worked part time and was our go to person when we were short staffed or needed someone for a special project. She was a lovely lady and fun to work with. My condolences on your loss.

Sonja was a constant as I grew up. She always delighted in visiting and sharing news of each of her children of whom she was enormously proud. Every visit to Calgary -- first atHope Lutheran as I was growing up and then at Varsity Manor in later years, usually over dinner -- included a visit with Sonja and Henry. I thank God for her hospitality and genuine interest in me and my family. Even as I join in prayers for consolation of my dear friends in the Rieder family, I give thanks that she now sees "face to face," in the joy of the communion of saints where all is ever new and forever reconciled in God's love and mercy.

The Rieder Family,

I am a friend of Margaret Rieder, Sonja’s sister in law. I was invited to Sonja’s & Henry’s home to visit when Marg. was in town. Sonja’ was very welcoming and made the most delicious baking. I cherish some of her recipes, which I still use. Thinking of you. Barbara Baldwin

Mom you will be missed. I enjoyed my Friday night dates, and especially the last outing stampede pop up.
