Sonia Antoinette Gaucher

Born in 1940 in Brooklyn, N.Y., Sonia grew up in Jersey City, N.J., with her sisters and brothers, living above a restaurant operated by her father and mother. After graduating from high school, she worked at Retail Credit Company, Duro-Test Corp, Concrete Plank Co. as Vice President, and managed Gaucher Stables with her husband where they raised, cared for and raced thoroughbred trotters until their retirement.

She also loved animals especially dogs and horses. Sonia was a very loving and caring person to all she met and especially to her family and friends. She was and is loved by all who had the pleasure of meeting and knowing her. Sonia's kindness and love came from her heart, and her smile and laughter brought happiness to all they touched.

Sonia is survived by her son, Anthony, daughter-in-law, Stephanie, step-daughters, Nancy & Cheryl, grandsons Bernd and Andrew, great grand-daughter, Sabine, sisters, Stephanie and Joan, brother, Walter and many cousins, nieces and nephews.
