Obituary for Dorothy P. Sonday (Hein)
Dorothy P. Sonday, 94, formerly of Shoemakersville, passed away on Sunday, December 14, 2014 in the Berks Heim, where she resided since February 2012.
Dorothy was the daughter of the late Oscar Hein and Lizzie V. (Schappell) Shappell. From the age of 2, she was raised by her uncle and aunt, James and Mary Hein.

She is also survived by two sisters: Marie (Hein) Faust, in Ohio; and Betty J. (Shappell) Wolfe, Maidencreek Twp.
