Graveside service for Ms. Sonja Carol Legg, 58, of Prattville, Alabama will be held Tuesday, February 15, 2022 at 2:00 p.m. at Bullard Cemetery in Eclectic, Alabama with Dr. Gary Merkel officiating.
Ms. Legg passed away on Sunday, February 13, 2022 at her residence. Sonja was born February 2, 1964 to the late Genella Gray Lett and the late Charles Mack Lett. She was also preceded in death by her father, Preston Legg. Charles Lett was the only father Sonja knew and he was a wonderful father to her.
She is survived by her sister, Patsy Legg Butler (Raymond) of Eclectic, Alabama, aunt Sara Hannen, and several cousins. Sonja is survived by her wonderful and loving family and staff at the Louise M. Smith Development Center in Prattville, Alabama, as well as her roommates Ashley Blanks and Bob Johnson.
Sonja was born to a mother that had Rubella while she was awaiting Sonja’s birth. As a result, she came into the world blind, deaf, and suffering from cerebral palsy. Doctors told us she would not make it, but we had her for 11 days after her 58th birthday.
Our family cannot begin to express our appreciation to the people at the Smith Center that took care of Sonja after her mother passed away. Although everyone was wonderful, Sonja loved Angie Cowling, her one on one staff as much as she loved her mother.
The family requests no flowers. Contributions may be made to the Louise M. Smith Developmental Center, 298 Jay Street. Prattville, Alabama 36066 in Sonja’s memory.
