It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our mother Sonia Scurfield, on Thursday June 14, 2018, at the age of 89 years.

The youngest of four children, she was raised in Saskatoon, and graduated from the University of Saskatchewan with a B.A in 1949, and the University of Manitoba with a Bachelor of Social Work in 1952. She married Ralph Thomas Scurfield in Edmonton on July 24, 1954. Together they raised seven children in Calgary, and were married 31 years until Ralph's death in 1985. Sonia was predeceased by her parents John and Motia Onishenko (nee Stupka), her brother Sergei Onishenko, her son Thomas James, and husband Ralph. Sonia is survived by her sisters Ruby Tittemore and Nadia Markley; her children: Ralph (Barb), Susan, Katheryn (Mitch), Sergei (Anna), Allan (Sandy), and John; 28 grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.
