Sonja Erway

Sonja Erway, 81, of Beaverton, passed away on Sunday, September 8, 2024. She was born a Valentine’s baby on February 14, 1943, the daughter of Guy and Janice (Linton) Hillman.

She was an avid deer hunter, had a passion for bowling and was on many bowling leagues, being named a Senior Bowler of the Year. Known jokingly as Old Macdonald to her kids, she loved her animals including her chickens, goats, pet squirrel, cockatiel, pot belly pigs, horses, every stray cat in the neighborhood and especially her many dogs.

Sonja leaves behind her two children, Trent (Forrest Burdue) Erway and Shawn (Darla) Erway; longtime friend and life companion, Ron Roberson; siblings Sherryl (Mick) Stitz, Bill Hillman, Skip Hillman, Tam (Steve) Wuelfing, and Jeff (Deb) Hillman; sister-in-law Peg Hillman; granddaughters Madison (Tyler) Menheer and Bailie Erway; and great grandchildren Landon and Leighton Menheer.
